Harvard Broadcasting was established in 1977,
when The Hill Companies purchased CKCK-TV, the Regina-based CTV affiliate
station. The station was sold to Baton Broadcasting in 1986.
In 1981, Harvard first expanded into radio with the purchase of CKRM and
CFMQ-FM (now CHMX-FM). CKRM had almost as long a history as The Hill
Companies in Saskatchewan. It entered the broadcast world in 1926 as Moose
Jaw's CJRM, providing rural listeners with Winnipeg's daily grain and market
reports. At that time, the station was owned by James Richardson and Sons.
In 1943, the station’s call letters became CKRM.
620 CKRM has been the Official Saskatchewan Roughrider broadcast rights
holder since 1983. Harvard Broadcasting recently entered into a new 10 year
rights holder agreement that will have 620 CKRM as the Rider Play-by Play
voice until the year 2015.
Harvard
Broadcasting acquired 104.9 the WOLF (CFWF-FM) from Craig Broadcasting in
January 2002. The Radio Station studios have relocated many times from its
first home in Moose Jaw.
The Harvard Broadcasting Radio Group recently moved into its new
State-of-the-Art broadcasting facility located directly in the "Heart of
Regina" in the newly redeveloped CENTURY PLAZA.
Heading up the Harvard Broadcasting group is Mr. Bruce Cowie,
Vice-President, and Mr. Michael Olstrom, General Manager.
