NORTHWOODS EXPANDS

Northwoods Broadcasting is expanding.

The owners of CJRL have purchased Thunder Bay Radio Station's Giant 105.3 as well as Magic 99.9 for 4.5-million dollars.

Vice-President Jim MacMullin says they are pleased with the agreement with Newcap and notes the two stations will be a great addition to the exisiting stations in Dryden, Kenora and Fort Fort Frances.

The deal is subject to approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission and is set to close at the end of this year.
