CBWK-FM is the callsign of the CBC Radio One station in Thompson, Manitoba. The station broadcasts at 100.9 MHz. The station's studios are located on Selkirk Avenue in Thompson.
History
The station signed on in 1980. Although separately licensed, for all intents and purposes it was a rebroadcaster of Winnipeg's CBW. It was upgraded to a full CBC production centre in 1994 to improve local service in rural northern Manitoba. The station also formerly produced a special evening program for the region's large First Nations population, in conjunction with Native Communications, but with the launch of NCI's own radio network this has been discontinued.
Local programming
CBWK formerly aired a local morning and midday show called North Country. Hosted by Mark Szyszlo for most of its history,Jonathon Naylor, [https://www.thereminder.ca/local-news/cbcs-voice-of-the-north-calls-it-a-career-4105744 "CBC's voice of the north calls it a career"]. The Reminder, April 10, 2017. his departure left the program on hiatus, with the station instead simulcasting local programming from CBW Winnipeg, until Ramraajh Sharvendiran was named its new host in October 2018.Eric Westhaver, [https://www.thereminder.ca/local-arts/new-host-new-look-for-north-country-4126013 "New host, new look for North Country"]. The Reminder, October 27, 2018.
Sharvendiran was subsequently transferred to St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, in 2020, again leaving the program hostless and returning CBW programming to the station.{{cite news |last1=Graham |first1=Ian |title=Off the air for two years, CBC's North Country morning show still lacking host |url=https://www.thompsoncitizen.net/local-news/off-the-air-for-two-years-cbcs-north-country-morning-show-still-lacking-host-5001730 |access-date=3 February 2023 |work=Thompson Citizen and Nickel Belt News |date=27 January 2022 |language=en}}
