Watrous CBK Transmitter

Coordinates: 51°40'45" N, 105°26'47" W
Watrous Transmitter is located approximately 100 km southeast of Saskatoon and 145 km north of Regina. It is CBC Radio One's primary station in Saskatchewan (CBK). The transmitter was originally located at Watrous in 1939 in order to cover most of the Prairie Provinces with a strong nighttime signal (the station, then as now, is a 50,000-watt clear-channel station). It was also intended to serve most of the province's populated area, including Regina and Saskatoon, from one transmitter. The Watrous transmitter is still considered the station's primary signal, even though both of the larger urban areas are now served by separate FM rebroadcasters.
