Jim Pattison Broadcast Group has rebranded Classic Hits “Fab 94.3” CHIQ-FM Winnipeg has rebranded as “94.3 The Drive“.
The move corresponds with the drop of 1960s tracks from the station to focus on hits of the 70s and 80s with a greater Rock lean. CHIQ ranked 10th out of 16 stations with a 3.9 share in the Fall 2015 Numeris ratings.
Kerri Salki and Trevor Gowen will host mornings with Alix Michaels in middays and Kelly Parker in afternoons.
