Here’s the latest I can share about CKWX from public sources:
- CKWX is Vancouver’s all-news radio station, branded as CityNews 1130. It has a long history as a 24/7 news service focused on local traffic, breaking news, and weather updates.[3][6]
- The station began as CKWX and later adopted the all-news format News1130, with changes tied to Rogers Communications’ branding strategy that rolled CityNews into its lineup around 2021. The current branding is CityNews 1130 Vancouver.[6][3]
- Notable milestones include the launch of the all-news format in 1996 (News1130) and subsequent branding evolution under Rogers to CityNews 1130.[2][3]
If you’d like, I can pull more details on recent programming, personalities, or how to listen live (streaming options) and provide direct links. I can also summarize recent local news coverage or notable traffic/wildfire alerts affecting the Vancouver area. Please tell me which aspect you want more depth on.
