EDMONTON — Radio in Edmonton is getting a new sound today with the launch of Corus Radio’s 92.5 The ’Chuck, rebranded from its Fresh Radio station.
Only on The ’Chuck might listeners hear phrases like “buff up the Talus balls and grab a green onion cake”, as the reformatted radio station promises to deliver a uniquely Edmonton listening experience. The ’Chuck will give listeners more music variety from the ’80s through today, interspersed with irreverent slices of Edmonton life, Corus Radio said in a news release.
“If you live in Edmonton, you’ll get it. We saw an opportunity in the market to introduce an unconventional and original sound,” said Greg Johnson, FM program director for Corus Radio Edmonton, in the news release. “Edmontonians are proud of their city and this station embodies that passion.”
The ’Chuck Crew will be out and about this weekend, starting Friday afternoon in Old Strathcona where they’re dodging potholes and blasting the hits aboard an Urban Pedal Tour team bike. On Saturday at the Heritage Festival in Hawrelak Park, The ’Chuck is inviting listeners to break bread at Edmonton’s largest communal table, measuring 70 feet in length. Visitors can learn about the new radio brand, check out the local art on the table and enter to win $500 to Skip the Dishes.
