History

CFDR

CFDR had made its home at various locations on the dial, first at 790 kHz, moving to 680 kHz in 1978, then to 780 kHz in 1991.

Originally owned and operated by Patterson Broadcasters Ltd. (President the late C.A. (Arnie) Patterson, Senior Vice-President/National Sales Director the late W.L. (Bill) Patterson and Vice-President/Chief Engineer the late Jack Hutchison), CFDR (the "DR" standing for "Dartmouth Radio"), also known as "CF Big 'D' R", first hit the AM dial in 1962. The studios were originally located at 66 Ochterloney St. Dartmouth and moved to 12 Queen St. in 1971 until the decision was made in 1981 to occupy half of the 18th floor and the entire penthouse (19th floor) of the Queen Square building which commanded an excellent view of Halifax Harbour. CFDR and CFRQ (Q104) moved their broadcasting facilities to the CIEZ building in Bedford, NS in 1995.
