Heard in the United States, Detroit, Michigan, CJSP was a Canadian station situated on the AM dial at 710 KHZ. The station was owned by Sun Parlour Broadcasting. A daytimer, the CJSP studios was located across the Detroit River in Leamington, Ontario. In 1962, CJSP was a Top 40 station when the featured Fascinatin’ 50 chart went to print, 58 years ago, this week.
CJSP signed on in March 1955. The station’s call letters was retained for 12 years until September 1967, when the CRTC (Canadian Radio Television Commission) approved the station’s request to change its calls to CHYR. The daytimer’s new calls letters also adopted a new station moniker, C-H-Y-R, popularly referenced by the late 1960s as, ‘CHEER Radio’.
By late 1967, the station had the distinction having operated under two licenses, in the daytime it was CHYR and during the night-time hours it switched over to CHIR. Sometime in 1974, the calls letters were re-amended and became CHYR-7 during the station’s broadcasting night-time hours.
