FM Radio
From 1997 to 2007, Jody Herperger operated an FM radio-rebroadcaster CFZY-FM for OZ-FM (St. John's, Nfld.). The station filled a need for commercial top-40 programming on the FM band. The station was maintained for a number of years after FOX-FM in Yorkton started commercial broadcasting, and ended transmissions in 2007.
