Corus Signs Off CKGO AM Vancouver / Ends News On CHQT AM Edmonton

As part of our efficiency review across Corus, we have made the difficult decision to reduce our AM radio programming in Vancouver and Edmonton.

As a result, certain roles have been impacted.

Effective immediately, AM 730 CKGO in Vancouver will cease to operate as an all-traffic station, and 880 CHQT-AM Edmonton will cease to operate as an all-news station.

To minimize disruption to our audiences and advertisers, for a temporary, interim period, our powerhouse news-talk station 980 CKNW Vancouver will share programming content with its sister station CKGO, and our heritage news-talk station 630 CHED in Edmonton will share programming content with its sister station CHQT.

Following that interim period, Corus will only operate one AM news-talk station in each of Vancouver and Edmonton.
