CFCY-FM

CFCY-FM is a country music radio station in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, broadcasting at 95.1 FM. The station is owned by the Maritime Broadcasting System. It was first launched by radio pioneer Keith Rogers on August 15, 1924 as 10AS on 250 meters. In 1925, the station was granted a full license as CFCY, broadcasting at 960 kHz. It is the Maritimes' oldest radio station. In 1931, it moved to 580 kHz, and then to 630 in 1933.

Known as "The Friendly Voice of the Maritime", the location in the centre of the Gulf of St. Lawrence allowed CFCY's 5,000-watt daytime signal to reach portions of Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec and New England as well as most of the Maritimes.

Rogers wanted to expand into television, but died in 1954. His company, Island Broadcasting, passed to his widow Flora, daughter Betty Rogers Large and son-in-law Bob Large. They fulfilled his dream of bringing television to the Island when CFCY-TV launched on July 1, 1956.

The CFCY stations were both CBC affiliates. However, in 1969, CFCY-TV was sold directly to the CBC as CBCT. The radio station remained a CBC affiliate until 1977, when the CBC opened CBCT-FM in Charlottetown. Island Broadcasting was renamed Eastern Broadcasting. The Rogerses sold the station to Maritime Broadcasting in 1986, earning a handsome return on their original investment of 62 years earlier.
