On January 5, 1962, CFAY-FM Victoria finally found a usable frequency: 100.3 MHz.
An FM station had been licensed to CFAX, but GM Roy Parrett appealed to the BBG (Board of Broadcast Governors) in September 1961 after discovering that the only two available FM frequencies assigned to Victoria were both severely impaired.
One was occupied by KPRN Seattle and the other was right next to an Edmonds station.
As a result of Parrett's complaint, the Department of Transport negotiated a new international agreement reserving FM frequencies for Canadian cities across the country.
Including seven for Victoria. CFAY-FM was assigned 100.3 on this day in 1962. But, the station never got on the air, and the CFAY call letters were appropriated for a pirate radio station in Surrey in the late 1960s.
