CBW is the callsign of the CBC Radio One station in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The station broadcasts at AM 990. CBW's local programs are Information Radio in the mornings, and Up to Speed in the afternoons.
The station first aired in 1923 as CKY, owned and operated by the Manitoba Telephone System. It became a partial affiliate of the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission in 1933, and was purchased outright by the CBC in 1948. The station adopted its current callsign a few months after the CBC purchase, and the CKY callsign was reassigned to a new commercial radio station.
On March 16, 2006, the CRTC approved an application by the station to implement a new FM transmitter in Winnipeg itself to simulcast the AM programming. This new FM signal will be on 89.3 MHz and should be operational by early 2007. [1]
