It was owned by Rogers Radio, a division of Rogers Sports & Media, and was branded as Sportsnet 960 The Fan, co-branded with the Sportsnet television channel also owned by Rogers.

Editorial summary

“CFAC” enters the record as radio station in Calgary, Canada (1922–2026). Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what CFAC, Radio and station can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewA valuable geographic starting point for tracing changing names, boundaries, uses and administrative responsibility. The current 65-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around CFAC, Radio and station.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“CFAC” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, CFAC, Radio and station provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 14, 2026.

Critical limits

A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
