History
On April 1, 2016 at 12:00 PM noon, CFRM-FM, which aired country, changed formats to top 40/80s, 90s and everything, while CHAW launched the country station at the same time. The first song to be played on Country 103 was "Runaway Highway" by local artist Mike Trudell.[2]
Both CHAW and CFRM broadcast from 1 Radio Road in Little Current. The stations are the first in Canada to be broadcasting 100% off grid from the office and supplemented by green energy from the tower site. [3]
