CJWE-FM
CJWE-FM is a radio station in Calgary, Alberta. Owned by the Aboriginal Multi-Media Society, it broadcasts programming targeting southern Alberta's First Nations communities, including mainstream country music, and specialty shows featuring indigenous music or presented in native languages.History
Following the collapse of the Aboriginal Voices Radio Network, the CRTC pursued new applicants for indigenous radio stations to fill its frequencies. The Aboriginal Multi-Media Society was granted stations in Calgary and Edmonton.
The Calgary station, named CJWE-FM, began testing its signal in April 2018, and officially launched in June. The station features similar programming to its Edmonton-based counterpart CFWE, including a mix of mainstream country music, and specialty programs targeting Southern Alberta's indigenous communities in the Blackfoot, Cree, Nakoda, and T'suutina languages.
In December 2018, the CRTC granted approval for AMMSA to convert the CFWE rebroadcaster CFWE-FM-2 to a rebroadcaster of CJWE, as it would broadcast content of greater relevance to the region.
