CFBW-FM is a community radio station broadcasting at 91.3 FM in Walkerton, Ontario, Canada.
The station was originally granted a three-year developmental community radio license,[1] and began broadcasting at 91.3 MHz (channel 217LP), with an effective radiated power of 5 watts on December 31, 2001. It was subsequently granted a permanent license in 2005 at 91.3 MHz (channel 217A1) with 250 watts. [2] From 2001 - 2024 Bluewater Radio was located on 10th Street Hanover.
On July 8, 2003, the CRTC approved Bluewater's application to change the authorized contours of CFBW-FM Hanover by relocating the transmitter to the Hanover and District Hospital site, approximately 750 metres south of the existing site. [3] CFBW-FM's transmitter was relocated again in 2008 this time 8 kilometers to the west of Hanover. [4]
In January 2024, the station relocated its office and studios to a larger new state of the art broadcasting facility located at 15 Victoria Street North in downtown Walkerton. [5]
