History[edit]
The station signed on in 1980. Although separately licensed, for all intents and purposes it was a rebroadcaster of Winnipeg's CBW. It was upgraded to a full CBC production centre in the early 1990s to improve local service in rural northern Manitoba. The station also formerly produced a special evening program for the region's large First Nations population, in conjunction with Native Communications, but with the launch of NCI's own radio network this has been discontinued.
Local programming[edit]
CBWK airs its own local program, North Country, in the mornings, but otherwise simulcasts CBW's programming during Radio One's local programming blocks.
