CFDR is a Canadian AM radio station licensed to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia and serving the Halifax area. Broadcasting at 780 kHz, it offers a classic country format and brands itself Classic Country 780 KIXX.
CFDR first hit the airwaves in 1962. It made its home on various spots on the dial, first on 790 AM, then moving to 680 AM in the late seventies, then up to 780 AM in 1991.
CFDR was an easy listening station until the late 1980s, then a CHR station, and finally adopted its current format in December 1993. As of October 19, 2006, Newcap is applying to the CRTC to move CFDR to the FM band at 88.9 MHz. It is proposing to drop its country format in favour of alternative rock, partly because another Halifax station, CHFX-FM, also airs country music. The station will be branded "LIVE 88.9", patterned after Newcap's Ottawa station LIVE 88.5.
CFDR and sister station CFRQ-FM are owned by Newcap Broadcasting.
