History

CBC Radio programming first aired in Fredericton on privately owned network affiliateCFNB550 AM. The CBC's own station launched on March 4, 1964. It was CBZ at 970 AM. Provincial Premier Louis Robichaud and Don Messer's troupe were on hand for the opening ceremonies which originated from the Lord Beaverbrook Hotel.[2]

In 2004, CBZ moved to the FM band on 99.5 MHz.[3] The call sign was changed to CBZF-FM, as CBZ-FM was already used by the CBC Radio 2sister station.

Transmitters

In the 1970s, CBAM Edmundston changed its low-power AM frequency from 1490 kHz to 1320 kHz. CBAN-FM in Edmundston previously used the CBAM call sign until 2003, when it converted to FM at 99.5 MHz. That call sign now belongs to CBAM-FM in Moncton, which adopted it after CBA moved to FM in 2007.

El 1 de septiembre de 2017, la CBC solicitó el cambio de CBAX de 600  kHz a 95,5  MHz. El nuevo indicativo será CBZF-FM-1 . [ 4 ] CBAX fue el último transmisor de AM de baja potencia en retransmitir CBZF-FM y también el último transmisor de AM de baja potencia de la CBC en la provincia. El CRTC aprobó la solicitud de la CBC para trasladar CBAX a 95,5 FM el 3 de noviembre de 2017. [ 5 ]
