CBY is a clear-channel public radio station in Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador.
At night, with a good radio, it can be heard around the Maritime Provinces and parts of Quebec and New England.
Nine FM rebroadcasters provide additional coverage throughout Western Newfoundland and the Northern Peninsula.
Thus, what is now CBY was launched with the call sign VOWN, standing for the Voice Of West Newfoundland,[2] on July 5, 1943 during a public ceremony attended by about two hundred guests in the ballroom of the Glynmill Inn.
On October 19, 2012, CBY made its final broadcast from its longtime studios of 53 years on Premier Drive in Corner Brook after the announcement of budget cuts by the federal government.
