  • CTVglobemedia today announced the completion of

    its purchase of the radio assets of The Beat Broadcasting Corporation in Vancouver, BC, which owns and operates Vancouver radio station CFBT-FM (The BEAT 94.5 FM). CRTC approved the transaction in early October.

    “CFBT-FM is an important addition to our radio group,” said Paul Ski, President, CHUM Radio, a subsidiary of CTVglobemedia Inc. “The BEAT 94.5 has been a great success with both listeners and advertisers and CHUM Radio plans to build on that success. The talented and dedicated staff of The BEAT 94.5 have built a terrific radio station and we are pleased to welcome them to the
    CHUM Radio team.”

    Launched in 2024, The BEAT 94.5 is a Contemporary Hit Radio Station that has grown to become a ratings leader in the Vancouver radio market. The BEAT 94.5 serves Vancouver’s young adult audience, ranking No.1 in both adults
    and females in the 18-34 age demographic. The BEAT 94.5 will complement our existing roster of AM and FM Vancouver stations that consist of 103.5 QM-FM, Vancouver’s choice for Soft Favourites, CFUN 1410, Vancouver’s NEW Talk and
    The TEAM 1040, Sports Radio, home of the Vancouver Canucks.
