History

After being given CRTC approval in 1989,[1] the station signed on in 1990 as a part of the Nor-Net Communications radio network, that operated stations throughout Alberta and Northern BC.

In September 2006, CKVH-AM switched from country (Cat Country) to classic hits (The Fox).

On 21 April 2009, Newcap Radio received CRTC approval to convert CKVH from 1020 AM to 93.5 FM. The FM switchover took effect on 15 October 2010.[2]

On 15 October 2010, CKVH converted to the FM dial and became known as 93.5 Prairie FM. On 2 May 2014, CKVH-FM changed its format back to country but kept the Prairie FM brand.

In November 2016, CKVH rebranded under the Real Country brand, as with other Newcap-owned country stations in Alberta.[3]

gollark: As far as I'm aware the way that works is that you can profit off it being worse than *other people predicted*, not just bad.
gollark: I hope we can all agree that anarchoprimitivism is very stupid, at least.

gollark: I have temperature readings up, and it says 85 degrees, which is pretty safe.
