HD Radio

98 CKHD has made history as the first HD Radio station in Saskatchewan, bringing cutting-edge audio technology to local airwaves. Unlike traditional FM radio, which transmits analog signals, HD Radio broadcasts digitally. This means listeners get crystal-clear sound quality—FM stations sound like CDs, and AM stations sound like FM. There’s also no static, hiss, or signal fade.

But the benefits go beyond audio quality. HD Radio allows one station to carry multiple channels on a single frequency. That means CKHD can broadcast its main programming on HD1, while offering different content—like genre-specific music, local news, or Indigenous language programming—on HD2 or HD3. It’s like getting several radio stations in one.

For listeners, this is a game-changer. No subscription is needed, just an HD-compatible radio. Drivers with newer vehicles may already have HD Radio built in, while home and portable options are also available.

98 CKHD is more than just better sound—it’s a new platform for local voices, diverse music, and community-focused content. Whether you’re tuning in for news, culture, or entertainment, HD Radio gives you more of what you love, with quality that keeps you listening longer. Welcome to the future of Saskatchewan radio.
