CKBA-FM

CKBA-FM is a Canadian radio station broadcasting at 94.1 FM in Athabasca, Alberta with an adult contemporary format branded as 94.1 The River. The station is owned by Newcap Broadcasting.

History

CKBA was granted a broadcast license for AM 850 kHz in 1988. CKBA began broadcasting on August 1, 1989. In those original days, CKBA's license was to provide 24 hours of local programming per week, including 2 hours and 18 minutes of local news. The rest of the programming was re-broadcast from CFOK in Westlock. In those days, the station was known only by its call letters, CKBA.

In 2002, CKBA was acquired by Newcap Broadcasting, and became part of Newcap's Cat Country radio network. The station's name was changed to 850 CKBA Cat Country. On September 29, 2006, CKBA changed formats from country music to classic hits. Along with the format change came a new name, 850 the Fox.

Switch to FM

On December 23, 2008, CKBA received CRTC approval to convert from the AM band to the FM band on the frequency 94.1 MHz. 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. The station was rebranded as 94.1 The River retaining the classic hits format.

CFOX-FM

CFOX-FM (identified on air and in print as CFOX) is a Canadian radio station in the Greater Vancouver region of British Columbia. It broadcasts at 99.3 MHz on the FM band with an effective radiated power of 75,000 watts from a transmitter on Mount Seymour in the District of North Vancouver. Studios are located in Downtown Vancouver, in the TD Tower. The station is owned by Corus Entertainment. CFOX has an alternative rock format, as it reports to Mediabase as a Canadian alternative rock station.

History

CFOX began broadcasting on October 15, 1964 on 99.3 MHz with 100,000 watts, under the call sign CKLG-FM (not to be confused with the new CKLG-FM in Vancouver on 96.9 MHz, a Jack FM station). Transmissions originally came from the south slope of Fromme Mountain in North Vancouver.

CKLG-FM initially began with an easy listening format, but in the fall of 1967, it started experimenting with rock music at night. In October that year, CKLG-FM program director Frank Callaghan hired record store owner Bill Reiter (who later went on to become part of the Dr. Bundolo's Pandemonium Medicine Show comedy troupe) to host the jazz/blues program Groovin' Blue on Saturday evenings. CKLG-FM soon shifted to become Canada's first full-time FM rock music station on March 16, 1968, with the expansion of Groovin' Blue to six nights a week and the addition of tracks from rock, folk and popular albums. In 1970, CKLG-FM added a two-hour daily talk show hosted by Allen Garr, which ran on the station until 1975. By 1973, CKLG-FM had compiled a library of 3000 albums, and all its programming was aired live except on Sunday mornings, with special programming on the station including the Allen Garr talk show, live concerts and a Saturday sock-hop program. In 1976, under the guidance of new program director Roy Hennessy (a former morning host on CKLG-AM), the FM station made the gradual transition to a progressive rock format.

All Out

All Out is a 1973 album by Grin.

Where the first two Grin albums had featured the band as trio augmented by overdubs, singalong choirs or even orchestras, the recent addition of Nils' brother Tom as second guitarist made the band a solid quartet. The only additional performer is blues-shouter Kathi McDonald, who contributes excellent backing vocals on several songs [most notably "Heart on Fire" and "She Ain't Right"].

Nils' liner notes in The Very Best of Grin attribute the "classy" solo in "Sad Letter" to Tom. "She Ain't Right" is also notable as the only the only Grin tune not attributed to Nils alone, but co-written with bassist Bob Gordon.

All Out was re-released on CD in 2009 with the single version of "Love Or Else" added as bonus track.

LP Cover and CD version

The title of the album does not appear on the outside cover. The mouth on the front cover is a flap which, when raised, reveals an open mouth with the words "ALL OUT" inside. The back cover features a photo of Nils with a thought bubble drawn in containing the track listing. The inside sleeve has a color photo of the band standing in a field on one side, and the lyrics on the other side.
