Today, VOCM is celebrating 83 years of bringing you the province’s biggest news first.

VOCM first hit the airwaves on October 19th, 1933, broadcasting from the family home of Walter B. Williams Jr.

The station continued on until it was officially licensed for commercial broadcasting three years later in 1936.

Since then, the station has gone through a few different owners, including Steele Communications and, most recently Stingray.

Over the years VOCM became trusted to connect people with the topics they cared about, by some of the most recognizable voices in radio.
