Golden West Broadcasting will flip Christian CHR “Ignite 107” CFEQ-FM Winnipeg to Classical “Classic 107” CKCL-FM on Thursday, December 5 at 10:00am.
Golden West gained CRTC approval earlier this year to flip CFEQ to a Classical format that will feature 70% classical and concert music and the rest a mix of jazz, blues, and instrumental versions of pop songs. The Jazz programming will air from 9pm-12am on the station.
The station is currently stunting with a brief loop of Classical and Jazz tracks. Golden West also owns Christian AC 95.1 CHVN in the Winnipeg market.
Kudos to Winnipeg, with their new classical station, you lucky ducks! I’m still hoping above hope that Ottawa will eventually have one again (come on Moses, bring the profitable Classical 96.3/103.1 format to the nation’s capital!).
