'''CHMY-FM''' is the call sign of an [[English language|English-language]] radio station located in [[Renfrew, Ontario|Renfrew]], [[Ontario]] on the [[FM broadcasting|FM]] dial at 96.1 [[Hertz|MHz]]. Owned by [[My Broadcasting Corporation]], the station airs an [[adult contemporary]] format branded as ''96.1 myFM'', and is the company's flagship station.
The station was licensed by the [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission]] in 2004.<ref>[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2004/db2004-147.htm Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2004-147]</ref>
The station also has a rebroadcast transmitter in [[Arnprior, Ontario|Arnprior]] ('''CHMY-FM-1'''), that originally operated on 104.7 FM.<ref>[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2005/db2005-453.htm Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2005-453]</ref> That transmitter was certified by Industry Canada Spectrum Management to move to 107.7 FM in 2007, due to potential broadcast interference from the FM conversion of [[CKOF-FM|CJRC]] in [[Gatineau]].<ref>[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2007/db2007-36.htm Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2007-36]</ref> The switch in frequency took place in the spring of 2007. In October 2008, power was increased on CHMY-FM-1, and the transmitter site was relocated from the Arnprior water tower to the Glentel site at Mount Pakenham. On April 2, 2014, the CRTC approved My Broadcasting's application for a new English-language station in Arnprior, which will operate at 107.7&nbsp;MHz, replacing rebroadcaster CHMY-FM-1 at that frequency.<ref>[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2014/2014-158.htm Broadcasting Decision 2014-158]</ref> On the same date, the CRTC denied My Broadcasting's application for a new station in [[Carleton Place]], which would have broadcast at 97.5&nbsp;MHz.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2014/2014-157.htm|title = ARCHIVED - English-language FM radio station in Carleton Place|date = 2 April 2014}}</ref>
On October 28, 2010, My Broadcasting applied to increase the effected radiated power for CHMY-FM; this application was approved on January 12, 2011.<ref>[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2011/2011-22.htm Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2011-22]</ref>
In 2016, CHMY-FM-1 Arnprior dropped simulcast with CHMY-FM Renfrew, to operate as a full-time radio station at 107.7 FM in Arnprior. CHMY-FM-1 changed to '''CIMI-FM''' then changed to '''[[CFMP-FM]]'''.<ref>[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/ownership/eng/cht233.pdf Ownership Chart - My Broadcasting - Radio]</ref>
