It and CFRG in Gravelbourg were purchased by Radio-Canada in 1973^[2] to become a rebroadcaster of Regina's new CBKF-FM.^[3] In 1975, the Canadian Radio-Television Commission (CRTC) approved CFNS to relocate to 860 kHz, change transmitter sites, and increase its power to 10,000 watts.^[4] The transmitter, which now has the call sign CBKF-2, still operates as a rebroadcaster of CBKF.
