CHAK (AM)

CHAK is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 860 AM in Inuvik, Northwest Territories.

CHAK received CBC news and topical programs by picking up CBX Edmonton and relaying the broadcast.

A year later, CHAK was airing CBC's school programs at the request of the Department of Mines and Resources.

In Paulatuk, Tsiigehtchic and Ulukhaktok, CHAK's signal is rebroadcast on transmitters owned by local community groups rather than by the CBC.

Tuktoyaktuk Broadcasting Society opened CFCT on 600 kHz with 1,000 watts at 6:45 p.m. MST, on January 20, 1971.

[3] Rebroadcaster CBAK originally received CRTC approval in 1985 to operate a low-power transmitter at Aklavik on 540 kHz (AM).

[4] In 1998, CBAK received approval to change frequencies to 1210 kHz with the power remaining at 40 watts.
