CBX (AM)

CBX is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 740 AM in Edmonton, Alberta. It broadcasts the programming of the CBC Radio One network. CBX is a Class B station broadcasting on a Canadian clear-channel frequency; the dominant station on 740 AM is CFZM in Toronto, Ontario. CBX's studios are located at Edmonton City Centre on 102nd Avenue Northwest in downtown Edmonton, while its transmitters are located near Beaumont.

It is the second most listened-to radio station in the Edmonton market according to the Fall 2014 PPM ratings.

History

The station was originally launched in 1948 on AM 1010. It served the southern two-thirds of Alberta, including Edmonton and Calgary, from a single 50,000 watt transmitter site at Lacombe, near Red Deer--roughly halfway between Edmonton and Calgary. Prior to its launch, CBC Radio programming aired in Edmonton on private affiliate CFRN 1260. In 1953, with signal reception in the city deteriorating, the rebroadcaster CBXA was launched on 740.

In 1964, the CBC launched separate radio services in Edmonton and Calgary. CBX was reoriented to be Edmonton's CBC station, and its transmitter was relocated to Beaumont on CBXA's frequency of 740. CBR signed on as Calgary's CBC outlet, using CBX' old frequency of AM 1010.

CBX7 (gene)

Chromobox homolog 7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CBX7 gene. The loss of CBX7 gene expression has been shown to correlate with a malignant form of thyroid cancer.

Model organisms

Model organisms have been used in the study of CBX7 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Cbx7^{tm1a(KOMP)Wtsi} was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists — at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion. Twenty six tests were carried out and three significant phenotypes were reported. Homozygous mutant female adults showed a decreased response to stress-induced hyperthermia and had an increased red blood cell count. Animals of both sex had an integument phenotype when tail epidermis was examined.
