CBHA-FM is a Canadian radio station. It is the CBC Radio One affiliate in Halifax, Nova Scotia, broadcasting at 90.5 MHz on the FM dial.
[edit] History
The station was launched in 1944 on AM 1240 with the call sign CBH. Prior to its launch, CBC Radio programmed aired on private affiliate CHNS 960 and its shortwave relay CHNX-SW 6130 kHz (in the 49m band). CBH's initial power was only 100 watts and remained at that level for 18 years. In 1948, the frequency was changed to 1330, and then to 1340 in 1960. In 1963, the power was upgraded to 10,000 watts with the station moving to clear channel 860.
In 1977, due to reception problems in parts of Halifax, a temporary FM rebroadcaster, CBHA-FM, was established on FM 90.5. The temporary station appeared to become permanent however as the CBC did not have the funds required to upgrade CBH's AM signal. Eventually in 1989, the AM station was shutdown, and CBHA-FM became the main CBC station in Halifax.
