History

The station signed on in 1980. Although separately licensed, for all intents and purposes it was a rebroadcaster of Winnipeg's CBW. It was upgraded to a full CBC production centre in 1994 to improve local service in rural northern Manitoba. The station also formerly produced a special evening program for the region's large First Nations population, in conjunction with Native Communications, but with the launch of NCI's own radio network this has been discontinued.

Local programming

CBWK airs its own local morning show, North Country. The station otherwise broadcasts programming from CBW in Winnipeg during the network's local programming blocks, with some exceptions (i.e., commercials).
