730 CKNW

730 CKNW is one of Canada's most historic and influential radio stations, broadcasting from Vancouver, British Columbia.

Originally launched on August 15, 1944, in New Westminster at 1230 AM, the station later moved to 1320 AM in 1949, then to 980 AM in 1958, where it remained until 2025. CKNW made history in 1947 by becoming the first station in the region to offer hourly newscasts and 24/7 programming. Acquired by Corus Entertainment in 2000, the station transitioned to 730 AM as part of a 2024 restructuring plan, officially completing the move on February 24, 2025, replacing CKGO. Its evening lineup features national shows like The Ben Mulroney Show and Conversations with Ben O’Hara-Byrne, alongside hourly news and traffic updates during peak hours. In May 2024, CKNW reclaimed broadcast rights for BC Lions football, returning to sports coverage after two decades.

Today, it continues to serve as a trusted voice for news and analysis across Vancouver and British Columbia, blending a rich heritage with modern broadcasting.
