History
CJGX signed on August 19, 1927 after the Winnipeg Grain Exchange created a radio station to provide farmers in Saskatchewan and Manitoba with the latest grain and livestock prices.
At first, the station exclusively broadcast grain and livestock pricing before gradually adding other programming.[3] The primary motivator behind the switch was a change in ownership and the establishment of government-controlled grain marketing in 1934.[4]
In 2025, CJGX and its sister station, FOX FM, won a Western Association of Broadcasters (WAB) gold medal for Community Service Radio (market size under 150,000) for their "Save the Terriers" campaign to secure the future of the Yorkton Terriers Junior A hockey team.[5]
