The Vista Radio family in Grande Prairie just doubled in size, as the parent company of 2DayFM, Grande Prairie Hit Music Now, has entered into an agreement with Golden West Broadcasting to purchase CJGY, 96.3 Reach FM, broadcasting out of the Swan City.
President of Vista Radio, Bryan Edwards says with the addition of CJGY to Vista Radio, the organization look forward to creating an even stronger local voice for the city of Grande Prairie and greater Peace Country.
“We already have a strong station in the city with 2DAYFM (CFRI) and now with this new property and the addition of the talented people of CJGY, we know this combination will be a benefit to the community in many ways.””
“We are proud to be one of the few growing Canadian broadcasting companies. Our commitment to local programming, news, and community service is our formula for this growth and our success. We are confident adding CJGY to our group will benefit not only Grande Prairie, but local broadcasting in Alberta,” Edwards adds.
Vista Radio is Canada’s most locally focused media company with an independent network of 72 radio stations and 52 digital properties in three provinces and the Northwest Territories.
This acquisition in Grande Prairie is pending CRTC approval.
