It was first licensed on May 1 , 1922 and it first broadcast on May 22 , 1922 becoming Alberta 's first radio station. CJCA was originally owned and operated by the Edmonton Journal , and was later purchased by Selkirk Communications Ltd. As of 1994 , it broadcasts entirely Christian programming. During the 1960's CJCA was one of two major rock stations in Edmonton (the other being CHED ). For many years the CJCA broadcast studios were located on the 4th floor of the Birks building in downtown Edmonton. On top of the Birks building was a huge billboard of a tiger wearing sunglasses—CJCA was also known as Tiger Radio. CJCA was also home for the Edmonton Eskimos and Edmonton Trappers. Their games were broadcast live on CJCA for many years. In the mid to late 1980's CJCA changed to an "all talk" format and while it was successful for a short while the station eventually went bankrupt and went off the air on December 1, 1993 . Shortly thereafter, the rights to the station were purchased by Touch Canada Broadcasting and in April 1994 it returned to the air as a Christian station. |
