Longtime Edmonton radio station 630 CHED is getting a new home – on the AM frequency.

The station, which has been a staple in news, talk and sports programming for more than three decades, will move to the 880 slot previously occupied by Global News 880.

“The station has packed its bags and is moving on to the next round with the Edmonton Oilers, Edmonton Elks and the same great lineup of radio hosts,” said Andrew Murdoch, CHED’s manager of talk and talent, in a statement Wednesday.

“This reinforces our commitment to providing Edmonton’s best talk, news and sports programming, and we are excited to reach new listeners with this enhanced signal coverage.”

A press release from Corus said the measure, which comes into effect on October 9, will provide “better coverage of the city and an improved listening experience” but will maintain the current program, including:

• This Morning with Stacey Brotzel – 5:30 a.m. to 9 a.m.

• Shaye Ganam – 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

• Lunch with Courtney Theriault – 12pm to 2pm

• Afternoons with Bryn Griffiths – 2pm to 5pm

• Oilers Now with Bob Stauffer – 5 to 7 p.m.

• Inside Sports – 7pm to 8pm

CHED will continue to be the radio home for Edmonton Oilers broadcasts, Corus said in the press release.
