In 1950, while still in high school in Bridgewater, the actor Donald Sutherland was hired by Jamie McLeod as a part-time announcer at CKBW for 60 cents an hour.

In the summer of 1953 Sutherland left CKBW and headed for the University of Toronto to study engineering.

In 1967, the station moved from King Street to new studios and offices specially constructed on the second floor of the Bridgewater Shopping Plaza.

In 1996, Bob MacLaren, former station general manager was inducted in the Canadian Association of Broadcasters Hall Of Fame.
