History

CKBA began broadcasting at AM 850 kHz in 1988 and it is unknown what the original format was.[1] However, on September 29, 2006, CKBA changed formats from country music to classic hits.

Switch to FM

On December 23, 2008, CKBA received approval to convert from the AM band to the FM band on the frequency 94.1 MHz. [2] The FM transmitter began broadcasting on July 14, 2009. On August 17, 2009, CKBA made the flip from AM to its current frequency at 94.1 FM. Formerly the FOX, the station rebranded as 94.1 The River retaining the classic hits format.

CKBA's former frequency AM 850 left the air in the fall of 2009.
