CHBD-FM (92.7MHz) is aradio station inRegina,Saskatchewan. Owned byBell Media, it broadcasts acountryformat branded asPure Country 92.7. Its studios are located at 4303Albert Street in south Regina.
In May 2007, the CRTC awarded licenses for new radio stations in Regina toStandard Broadcasting (which, the previous month, had agreed to be sold toAstral Media),[2] andAboriginal Voices Radio. Standard proposed a "new country" station on 92.7 FM.[3]
The station officially launched asBig Dog 92.7 on February 20, 2008, under the ownership of Astral Media. Launch promotions for the new station included a 5,000-song commercial-free marathon, a station-sponsored concert featuringAaron Pritchett at the local Pump Roadhouse nightclub, and an on-air contest surrounding theAlan Jackson song "Gone Country" (the first song played by the station).
