CBW (AM)

CBW is the call sign of the CBC Radio One station in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The station broadcasts at AM 990, and this station functions as a Class A clear channel station under former North American Radio Broadcasting Agreement allocations.

Due to the station's transmitter power and Manitoba's mostly flat land (with near-perfect ground conductivity), it reaches almost all of southern Manitoba during the day and much of the middle portion of North America at night.

History

The station first aired in 1923 as CKY, owned and operated by the Manitoba Telephone System. It became a partial affiliate of the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission in 1933, and was purchased outright by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in 1948. The station adopted its current call sign a few months after the CBC purchase, and the CKY call sign was reassigned to a new commercial radio station.

It was part of the Trans-Canada Network, which was the main CBC radio network, while CKRC carried programming from the Dominion Network between January 1, 1944 and 1962.
