Much as I hate to admit it, this was also, pretty much exactly, my reaction.
CKKK.    The Dryden dinner jacket logo will be cute though .

Here's how things look, to, Nancy Elgie, this morning...

YEEHAW GEORGINA
GIT ER DONE!

And the answer is: it is big enough and applications are now being accepted. In addition to MyFM, Bayshore, Torres and Evanov all expressed interest in trying to get a new station, with the latter two being odd, since Evanov also intervened to say the area shouldn't get a new outlet, claiming its CKDX-FM (aka The Jewel 88.5) already serves Georgina, while Torres argued a new entity would unfairly compete with its CIUX, an Uxbridge station I'll wager most don't even know exists.

There's also a coming native station that doesn't want the competition. But the CRTC doesn't think the newcomer will hurt anyone, so they've okayed the potential newcomer.  

So if you can't beat 'em, I guess, join 'em.

The Commission has advised MyFM to amend its request and wants all those competing bids in by June 30th.

Call for applications – Radio station to serve Georgina, Ontario

There's also a rock pirate that surfaces quite often as I'm driving between the upper end of the 404 and Beaverton. I've pretty much triangulated it to Georgina. No announcers. At most a second or two of dead air between tunes.
 

Is the "pirate's" freq 92.3?

FM 92.3 is Bayshore's "the dock" out of Owen Sound (not to be confused with Larche's FM 104.1 "the dock" out of Midland) 

It's also: http://georginaisland.com/community-services/nish-radio-92-3/

Kilgore, the whole Central Ontario area is complicated with signals from various sources.  Some are localized, while others are regional in scope.  No worries, it's hard to keep track!

Ken Trew, Milt Conway on CHAY, Bruce Barker or Tim Weston on Rock 95....

 The pirate is on 93.9.   Should'a mentioned that. The first time I heard it I was wondering why I was hearing metal-rock loud and clear on 93.9.    I've heard traces of the signal as far south as Highway 401 and also up just past Coboconk (Highway 35) to the northeast  

will check it out this afternoon

Yes, Nish is correct.  Haven't listened, don't know what they do.
I'd still like to know more about that pirate station.  No doubt that any winner of the CRTC Call will immediately move to shut them down.... play by the rules or don't play at all.
The fact that the pirate station has been around for awhile speaks to the fact the market needs a legit radio station....

93.7 is where MY FM would like to launch a station for Georgina...is someone maybe testing? Legal or not?

you're correct.  interesting question....

If Radio Caroline can be tolerated in London, then 93.9 should be tolerated on Georgina Island
 

Except there's already CFGI on the island there @ 92.3.

93.9 is a completely different station that will most likely broadcast from somewhere in Sutton Ontario.

If she's any kind of pirate she is broadcasting from a scow off of Beaverton, not from Sutton Place

I don't know. It could be anywhere.

   I was in Sutton a couple of weeks back for a funeral.   I was surprised that it had a couple of sub-divisions.  Keswick has been a thing for years too.  I definitely think it could support a station.

A noon-hour death notice program is enormously popular in Owen Sound so why not bring it to Sutton and Keswick?

When did Nish move frequencies, Saul?

Just under two years ago. Nish had to vacate 102.7 because Zoomer had been awarded 102.9 in Collingwood. Zoomer Media arranged for their current frequency and funded the switch.

As for the pirate on 93.9, I've actually heard their signal west of Creemore. It's quite good up that way along the edge of the escarpment. Of course, it's very strong throughout much of the Newmarket-Keswick area - making Georgina a definite possibility. It's been around for a while. Surprised no one has mentioned it here before.

I was in the Georgina and Sutton area today and had the frequency locked on 93.9 and got only static until I was on the 404 southbound and the apparent  pirate started to come in clearly. Maybe it just went on the air for the day at that time around 320 PM. Signal lasted till almost Richmond Hill. I heard a track by Bad Company and two by the Animals. The signal had faded as I entered Toronto but I think I heard the Cars on the station in North York near Fairveiw mall.

I was DXing the other day from about an hour northeast of Lake Simcoe and I heard a reference to Cottage country and Lake Simcoe on 93.9 in between rock music tracks. Signal was pretty weak, but I think I recorded it. (I was also getting signals from a lot farther away, like Missouri etc...). Anyhow, this is the first time I have ever heard a voice from this thing,

I fail to understand why anyone would be afraid to speak-even if it's with a voice changer. 
How does the human voice make it any easier to shut down a pirate radio station?
