CRTC Licences A Very Odd Radio Station - On Air For Only 2 Hrs. A Week
It's located in the very small town of Okno, Manitoba and will apparently broadcast only two hours a week - one in English, the other in German. And this Church sponsored outlet won't feature your typical playlist. In fact, there won't be a playlist at all.
According to the Commission:
"The new station would offer live broadcasts of religious services, weddings, funerals, baptisms and other such religious celebrations to the Christian parish of Okno and the surrounding areas."
I can see the slogan now - "Three Weddings & A Funeral." Or has that already been used? I'm guessing bar mitzvahs are not on the agenda...

Re: CRTC Licences A Very Odd Radio Station - On Air For Only 2 Hrs. A Week
Unusual, but not unprecedented in Canada. There’s a low-power television outlet in Abbotsford, BC called CFEG-TV that operates similarly. Per Wikipedia:
CFEG's programming consists of the church's English and German Sunday morning and evening services as well as its Wednesday morning German Bible study.
It still broadcasts in analog on Channel 19, and is not carried on cable.
It was set up in a pre-YouTube time, and I do wonder how much longer it might exist.
