CBKA-FM
CBKA-FM is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting the CBC Radio One network at 105.9 FM in La Ronge, Saskatchewan.
Until 2009, CBKA had a local news bureau serving Northern Saskatchewan, and produced the regional noontime show Keewatin Country, but otherwise aired the same programming as CBK, the Radio One outlet for the more populated southern half of the province. In the CBC's service cutbacks announced in March 2009, the operation in La Ronge was entirely eliminated, making CBKA a full rebroadcaster of CBK. All programming is now fed from CBK's studios in Regina, though the station remains separately licensed.

CFPR
CFPR is a Canadian radio station, airing at 860 AM in Prince Rupert, British Columbia. It is part of the CBC Radio One network.
History
CFPR first aired in 1936 on AM 580, as a private CBC Radio affiliate owned by Northwest Broadcast & Service Co. It moved to AM 1240 in 1941 (see Canadian allocations changes under NARBA), and became a Trans-Canada Network affiliate in 1944. The station was directly acquired by the CBC in 1953 shortly after going out of business as a private station. In 1963, the CBC was granted approval to move the station to its current frequency, which it did by 1967. In 1988, the CBC applied to convert the station to a straight rebroadcaster of CBYG-FM in Prince George. The application was denied by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). However, CFPR airs the same programming as CBYG-FM at all times, as they share production of their local programming.
Local programming
CFPR and CBYG-FM jointly produce the local morning program Daybreak North, with one host in each location — Carolina de Ryk works from the studio in Prince Rupert and Chris Walker works from the studio in Prince George. Both stations air CBTK-FM's Radio West in the afternoons.
