In addition to CBZF 99.5 FM, another Radio One station, CBD-FM 91.3 Saint John, can easily be heard in the provincial capital.
CBC Radio programming first aired in Fredericton on privately-owned network affiliate CFNB 550 AM.
Provincial Premier Louis Robichaud and Don Messer's troupe were on hand for the opening ceremonies which originated from the Lord Beaverbrook Hotel.
CBZF also carries the provincial afternoon show Shift, which can be heard between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. weekdays and comes from CBD-FM 91.3 in Saint John.
CBAN-FM in Edmunston previously used the CBAM call sign until 2003, when it converted to FM at 99.5 MHz.
