CFWH-FM

History
CFWH was launched in 1951 as a local community station on AM 1340 kHz. On November 10, 1958 it was taken over by the CBC as the first station of the newly formed CBC Northern Radio Service. CFWH received CBC news and topical programs by picking up CBX 1010 (later 740) Edmonton and relaying the broadcast. Tapes recorded in Montreal, Quebec were also flown in on regular airline flights. Eventually the station was linked into the primary CBC network feed.
In 1960, the frequency was changed to 1240 kHz and then to 570 kHz in 1964.
On May 21, 2009, the CBC applied to the CRTC to convert CFWH from the AM dial (570 kHz) to the FM dial on the frequency 94.5 MHz. The station received approval on October 27, 2009. The FM frequency officially launched on June 1, and the AM frequency shut down on August 31, 2012.
