History.
In the latter half of July 2018, an article printed in the "Regina Leader-Post" has reported that a former radio morning show co-host named Steven Huber was planning to build a new radio station to serve rural areas of southern Saskatchewan. The application to the CRTC was approved on July 26, 2018. The station's plans include an in-house news department, along with road, cultural, and community information, along with programming devoted to the agricultural interest as the area the station would serve is predominantly rural. More than four hours of spoken-word programming is broadcast daily. The station originally planned to broadcast under callsign CHOG-FM. However, in 2019, the station chose to take the callsign CIAT-FM so it can be referenced to its eventual branding, Cat Country.
The station's transmitting facilities and tower were completed in January 2019. A test loop began airing on the station in January, with its official launch taking place on March 15, 2019.
Coverage area.
The station's coverage area includes most of the area within an radius, serving a good portion of south-central Saskatchewan, mainly in an area from Val Marie to near Weyburn, and from an area across the Canada–United States border into northeastern Montana, also covering portions of Daniels, Sheridan and northern Valley Counties, northward to provide at least a rimshot signal into an area along Saskatchewan Highway 1 (Trans Canada Highway) in the Moose Jaw/Regina area.
