History

Throughout its history, CKDM-AM has been owned by Dauphin Broadcasting Ltd.

Dauphin Broadcasting applied for a license in 1950, but was denied. After failing to receive a license from the CBC in 1950, another application for a broadcast license was approved in 1951 on 1230 kHz with 250 watts. Its first air date was on January 5, 1951. A move to 1050 kHz with 1000 watts was made in 1956.

In 1958, a further move to 730kHz was made where the station has remained ever since.

In 1960, a 10,000 watt transmitter was purchased from Canadian Marconi Sales, though the increased power was not used until later in the decade.

In 1966, a power increase to 10,000 watts was made.

In 2015, CKDM moved out of its downtown studio, a location they had since 1951 and moved further away, to 1735 Main Street South. They also bought a new transmitter.

A clear-channel station is a North American AM radio station that has the highest level of protection from interference from other stations, particularly from nighttime skywave signals. This classification exists to ensure the viability of cross-country or cross-continent radio service enforced through a series of treaties and statutory laws. Known as Class A stations since the 1983 adoption of the Regional Agreement for the Medium Frequency Broadcasting Service in Region 2, they are occasionally still referred to by their former classifications of Class I-A, Class I-B, or Class I-N. The term "clear-channel" is used most often in the context of North America and the Caribbean, where the concept originated.
