CKRM began July 27th, 1926 in Moose Jaw as 665 CJRM. By 1935 it transitioned to Regina. 2026 is a celebration of the past, present and future of the Voice of Saskatchewan!
It’s 100 years in the making. Join 620 CKRM as we take a look back at the stories that made headlines across the province – building The Voice of Saskatchewan. Each week in 2026 we will feature a story, a piece of Saskatchewan history from the same week in the last 100 years. It’s all part of our 100th anniversary, celebrating the past, present & future, with 100 stories.
Keep coming back for much more to come.
