History

The station began broadcasting in 1958 as CJDV, until it changed to its current callsign in 1981. It is a Class B station broadcasting with a power of 50,000 watts, and using a two tower directional antenna daytime and a four tower directional antenna nighttime. The former CJDV callsign now belongs to a radio station in Cambridge, Ontario.

In 2016, the station became a semi-satellite of Camrose/Edmonton sister station CFCW, rebranding from Q91 to 910 CFCW; it carried a mix of CFCW and local programming. In October 2018, CKDQ rebranded as Real Country 910 (adopting a brand used by other Newcap-owned country stations in Alberta).[1]
