History

After being given CRTC approval in 1989,[1] the station signed on in 1990 as a part of the Nor-Net Communications radio network, that operated stations throughout Alberta and Northern BC.

CKVH-FM is currently owned by 3937844 Canada Inc. (a subsidiary of Newcap Radio).

In September 2006, CKVH-AM switched from country (Cat country) to classic hits (The Fox).

On April 21, 2009, Newcap Radio received CRTC approval to convert CKVH from 1020 AM to 93.5 FM the FM switchover took effect on October 15, 2010.[2]

On October 15, 2010, CKVH converted to the FM dial and became known as 93.5 Prairie FM. On May 2, 2014, CKVH-FM changed its format back to country but kept the Prairie FM brand.

In November 2016, CKVH rebranded under the Real Country brand, as with other Newcap-owned country stations in Alberta.[3]
