  CKNW (AM) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On January 2, 1949, CKNW switched frequencies to 1320 AM and increased its power from 250 watts to 1000, then further increased to 5000 watts on November 5, 1954.
CKNW founder Bill Rea died on April 15, 1983 in Santa Barbara, California at age 74; on October 3 that year, the staion began broadcasting in AM stereo, and on June 18, 1984, became the flagship station of the Western Information Network, broadcasting programs via satellite to affiliate stations throughout British Columbia.
During the 1990s, CKNW made a gradual transition from a mixed format of news, sports, talk shows and MOR music (which it had since dropping its original country music format in the 1960s) to its current format of full-time news, talk and sports by the end of the decade.

 CKNW-AM re Journalistic Controversy
CKNW failed, prior to filing the allegation, to directly ask Premier Harcourt if the substance of their allegation was correct and report on his response.
Macdonald, as CKNW News Director, is assigning reporters to cover the same story that he is an integral part of, as well as coverage of the Premier and provincial government, leaving at least a perception of bias.
In conclusion, I believe that CKNW and its employees have made a series of decisions which have resulted in a perception of bias against the Premier of the province and his government that have caused the public to question the station's journalistic integrity.

 Public Notice CRTC 1985-236
CKNW, an AM radio station owned by Westcom Radio Group Ltd., a corporation which is wholly owned by WIC Western International Communications Ltd., broadcasts the Bannerman open-line show weekday mornings from 9:00 a.m.
CKNW later wrote that it "regrets that offense was taken to portions of the Program".
Because of its determination of the present complaints, the Commission concludes that CKNW is not exercising the required degree of care and control to prevent the function of open-line programming from being abused.

CKNW: Michael Perley is Director of the Ontario Campaign for Action on Tobacco.
CKNW: Is it fair to say though that if many smokers feel they need somebody to lobby on their behalf because people like you want to tax them even more and further restrict where they can and can not smoke?
CKNW: If they were really successful in stopping kids from starting smoking, they'd put themselves out of business.

 CKNW-AM re The Peter Warren Show
We have an 11 year old grandson in whom we are trying to instill some character and morality and this kind of profanity, and what might have been a racist comment as well, is not at all helpful.
CKNW is required to announce this decision forthwith, in the following terms, during prime time and, within the next thirty days, to provide confirmation of the airing of the statement to the CBSC and to the complainant who filed the Ruling Request.
When requested to furnish tapes of the Peter Warren Show of April 2, 1999, it was unable to do so despite the requirement under both the CBSC's terms of membership and the requirements of the CRTC under its Specialty Service Regulations.

Clarke as saying, "I didn’t intend to write it—it just came." And she added that she still felt like crying whenever she heard it.
She sang her song to her little patients—after it became a hit they called it "our song"—and friends and co-workers kept telling her the song was a good one, and so she eventually sang it on CKNW.
CKNW’s well-known Rhythm Pals (Mike, Marc and Jack) recorded it, and also claimed to have contributed something to the final published version.

The first words from death-row devil Scott Peterson are a sappy mix of gratitude and petty grumbling — including how he refuses to reply to fan mail because of an "irritating" handful of people messing with his letters.
At mail call I am encouraged by, and enjoy hearing from people." The short message is bordered by a drawing of barbed wire and features a photo of Peterson in a suit sitting at a defense table in court.
And Susan Campbell's explanation, in a column last Sunday, of how she moved from being a death penalty agnostic to an abolitionist, struck me as more insightful than I expect to be today.
