CBC Radio One Edmonton

Broadcasting since September 8, 1948, this Edmonton-based station functions as the voice of CBC Radio One for northern Alberta. Initially broadcasting on 1010 kHz, the station transitioned to its current 740 kHz AM frequency in 1964, enhancing its reach across the region. A nested FM transmitter, CBX-2-FM at 93.9 MHz, simulcasts the AM programming within Edmonton, offering listeners alternative access. Programming focuses on comprehensive news, current affairs, and engaging talk segments. Signature local programs include the daily "Edmonton AM," providing an in-depth look at community stories, and "Alberta at Noon," a province-wide open-line show encouraging public discussion. The station also features national CBC Radio One content, such as "The Current" and "Q with Tom Power," alongside cultural and scientific programs like "Ideas" and "Quirks & Quarks." Commercial-free, it is dedicated to delivering a Canadian perspective on global and local issues, providing essential information and entertainment to its audience.
