CKEN 97.7 FM Country Music from Kentville

Serving Windsor and its surrounding areas on 1450 CFAB; Kings, West Hants, and Eastern Annapolis Counties on CKEN 97.7 FM; Middleton, Lawrencetown, and Bridgetown on CKAD 1350 AM; West from Bridgetown to Digby on CKDY 1420 AM; and Weymouth on CKDY-1 on 103.3 FM, AVR is the voice of country for a broad spectrum of hard-working, hard-partying folks.

AVR knows the Annapolis Valley and knows how to serve it up right, giving solid doses of the best country music and programming around. With local news, sports, weather, and other special programming that reflects the community, AVR keeps its listeners informed and tapping their feet at the same time.

AVR offers compelling programming Monday to Friday with its standard line-up. Things get kicked off with a Birthday Line, which wishes all listeners a happy birthday or wonderful anniversary. A 9:30 AM trading post is a highlight, where listeners from the Annapolis Valley can get involved and gather that sense of community that makes the area so special. Plus, there’s cool stuff to be had!

“Resources Today” is perhaps AVR’s most popular piece of programming. A farm show unlike any other, “Resources Today” follows the noon news on Monday-thru-Friday and offers weather, news, and information that every farmer will find helpful. By tapping in to the Winnipeg Commodity Exchange and the Chicago Board of Trade, AVR is able to help establish the grain futures prices for its listeners, proving a valuable resource.

AVR boasts a solid team of announcers, too. With Amanda Misner, Len Hawley, and Larry Yelland on weekdays, your Monday-thru-Friday drive is on point every single day. And Hunter Brule and Jolene Johnson fill out the weekends so you know you’re in good hands. Vicki Gesner skilfully anchors down the MNN News.

Did I mention Len’s Trivia, which runs weekday afternoons at 3:40? Tune in to quality to win a $40 gift certificate for Meadowbrook Farm Meat Market!

With so much valuable programming, you’re probably wondering how AVR can fit in today’s best country music. AVR offers listeners a balance of music, news, information, and resources for the farming lifestyle. It’s no wonder it’s been serving Annapolis Valley for over 60 years!
