History

On September 15, 2014, beating a competing proposal by Golden West Broadcasting, the CRTC approved an application by Blackgold Broadcasting for a new FM radio station to serve Parkland County, which would serve as the first radio station to specifically target the region.[1] The station planned to broadcast a country music format branded as 88.1 The One; in regards to local content, Blackgold stated in its application that it planned to broadcast 81 hours of spoken-word content per week, including news, agricultural reports, and other content of local interest. After the licence approval, the new station began to construct its facilities in Stony Plain, and hire staff.[1]

The new station officially launched on June 4, 2015.[2]
