History[]

Throughout its history, CKDM-AM has been owned by Dauphin Broadcasting Ltd.

Dauphin Broadcasting applied for a license in 1950, but was denied. After failing to receive a licence from the CBC in 1950, another application for a broadcast license was approved in 1951 on 1230 kHz with 250 watts. Its first air date was on January 5, 1951, and has been on the air ever since.

A move to 1050 kHz with 1000 watts was made in 1956.

In 1958 a further move to 730 kHz was made where the station has remained ever since.

In 1960, a 10,000 watt transmitter was purchased from Canadian Marconi Sales, though the increased power was not used until later in the decade.

In 1966 a power increase to 10,000 watts was made.

In 2015 CKDM-AM moved out of its downtown studio, a location they had since 1951 and moved further away, to 1735 Main Street South. They also bought a new transmitter.
