Golden West Broadcasting

Golden West Broadcasting is a Canadian radio broadcasting company based in Altona, Manitoba, Canada. It currently owns and operates a number of radio stations in the prairie provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.

Through its Golden West Media division, the company also supplies broadcast equipment sales and technical services as well as sound system consultation and installation.

On October 28, 2004, Canadian Satellite Radio announced a partnership with both Golden West Broadcasting and Rawlco Communications that would give the two broadcasting companies the option to acquire an ownership interest in CSR should its satellite radio application be approved by the CRTC.

In a press release for the announcement, Elmer Hildebrand, CEO of Golden West Broadcasting, stated:

CSR's application and two others were approved on June 16, 2005; CSR's service, XM Radio Canada, launched on December 1, 2005.

Additionally, Hildebrand owns three radio stations in the city of Saskatoon through Saskatoon Media Group—which are separate from Golden West.

The change of CKMW's frequency to FM has sparked much debate among the older population.
