CJGX
The station reports news, weather, and sports at the top of each hour, and broadcasts ice hockey games involving the Melville Millionaires, the Yorkton Terriers of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League and Swan Valley Stampeders of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League. CJGX also carries live broadcasts of Saskatchewan Roughriders games.
History
CJGX signed on August 19, 1927 after the Winnipeg Grain Exchange created a radio station to provide farmers in Saskatchewan and Manitoba with the latest grain and livestock prices.
At first, the station exclusively broadcast grain and livestock pricing before gradually adding other programming. The primary motivator behind the switch was a change in ownership and the establishment of government-controlled grain marketing in 1934.
