Hey there, time traveller!

With commercially available television years away — CKX-TV would first go on the air in Brandon in early 1955 — newshounds in Brandon had to choose between their eyes and their ears.
Along with newsprint, there were several AM radio stations for listeners to choose from.
Lists of radio programming were printed in the Brandon Daily Sun, much like TV guide grids are printed today.
People could choose between CKX, at 1120 on the dial, CBK (a CBC affiliate) at 540, and KFYR, at neighbouring 550.
Local CKX broadcast the Remembrance Day service in 1939. Here, at right, is what else was on the radio waves that day.
