Happy Trails

CFDR Dartmouth/Halifax – after 46 years of AM service – will sign off on Monday, July 27. The Newcap Classic Country station, as its final out, will air the old Roy Rogers/Dale Evans classic tune: Happy Trails.

And with CFDR’s going dark, it brings to an end AM radio service in the large Nova Scotia market.

Broadcast Dialogue reports Morning show co-Host Frank Lowe will leave while co-Host Stephanie Woodin will stay with Newcap in another capacity. CFDR was part of a trade-off with Rogers, which gave up CIGM Sudbury to Newcap.

A&O proudly works for FX-101.9/Halifax, and we know that Maritime President Robert Pace, OM Scott Clements at the market's remaining country station take the responsibility of serving the large area's many country fans very seriously, while tipping our hats to the people who contributed to CFDR's heritage and history.
