The station signed on in 1980. Although separately licensed, for all intents and purposes it was a rebroadcaster of Winnipeg's CBW. It was upgraded to a full CBC production centre in 1994 to improve local service in rural northern Manitoba. The station also formerly produced a special evening program for the region's large First Nations population, in conjunction with Native Communications, but with the launch of NCI's own radio network this has been discontinued.
CBWK formerly aired a local morning and midday show called North Country. Hosted by Mark Szyszlo for most of its history,[1] his departure left the program on hiatus, with the station instead simulcasting local programming from CBW Winnipeg, until Ramraajh Sharvendiran was named its new host in October 2018.[2]
Sharvendiran was subsequently transferred to St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, in 2020, again leaving the program hostless and returning CBW programming to the station.[3]
