History of 93.1 The Border
In 1944, the station launched AM 1340 CKFI, an affiliate of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s Dominion Network. It adopted the CFOB call sign in 1955 and switched to 800 frequency in 1952. Fawcett Broadcasting acquired the channel in 1960. Border Broadcasting purchased it in 1966 but reacquired it in 1971. When the Dominion Network dissolved in 1962, radio transferred its affiliation to the main CBC Radio network. Until 1973, it remained an affiliate of the CBC, when the CBC-owned CBQ opened. It again moved to 640 AM in 1984. It aired transmission in Winnipeg from CKIS in 1989 during the overnight hours. In 2001, it applied to CRTC to move to FM and officially switched to 93.1 in 2002. Acadia Broadcasting purchased it in 2007, based in Saint John, New Brunswick.
