CBG is aradio station broadcasting on 1400kHz (AM) fromGander,Newfoundland and Labrador,Canada with a power of 4,000 watts. CBG is the localRadio One station of theCanadian Broadcasting Corporation.
Three rebroadcasters provide additional coverage. One of the rebroadcasters,CBGY 750 inBonavista is aClass A, 10,000-watt station, heard over much ofAtlantic Canada at night, using a good radio.
The station was launched in March 1943 asVORG (VoiceOfRadioGander), owned and operated by the local military base.[1] Before 1949 when it joined theCanadian Confederation, radio stations in Newfoundland hadcall signs beginning withVO. A few stations dating back to that time, such asVOCM,VOAR andVOWR still do.
FollowingWorld War II, VORG was acquired by theBroadcasting Corporation of Newfoundland (BCN), the pre-Confederationpublic broadcaster. On March 31, 1949, BCN was absorbed by the CBC when Newfoundland joined Canada, and the station adopted its current call sign. At that time, CBG broadcast on 1450 AM. The frequency was changed to 1400 in 1983.
In 2015, CBG moved out of its longtime CBC-owned studio at 98 Sullivan Avenue in Gander and into leased space at the Gander Mall. This coincided with the closure of separate studio facilities atCBT inGrand Falls-Windsor in a move to cut costs by consolidating CBC's central Newfoundland operations into a single, smaller facility in Gander.[2]
Since 2018, CBG has cooperated withCBY inCorner Brook to produceCBC Newfoundland Morning, alocal morning show focused on central and westernNewfoundland, theNorthern Peninsula, and southernLabrador.[3] Prior to this, CBG produced and airedThe Central Morning Show in cooperation withCBT in Grand Falls-Windsor.
For the remainder of local programming blocks within the CBC Radio One schedule, CBG broadcasts programming fromCBN inSt. John's.
