Longtime Edmonton radio station 630 CHED is getting a new home — on the AM dial, that is.

The station, which has been a news-talk-sports fixture for more than three decades, will hop to the 880 slot formerly occupied by Global News 880.

“The station’s bags are packed, and it’s moving up the dial with the Edmonton Oilers, Edmonton Elks, and the same great lineup of radio hosts,” said Andrew Murdoch, manager, talk and talent, at CHED in a Wednesday statement.

“This further solidifies our commitment to providing Edmonton’s best talk, news and sports programming and we are excited to reach new listeners with this improved signal coverage.”

A press release from Corus said the move, which takes effect Oct. 9, will provide “better city coverage and an upgraded listening experience,” but will continue the current lineup of shows, featuring:

• This Morning with Stacey Brotzel – 5:30 to 9 a.m.

• Shaye Ganam – 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

• Midday with Courtney Theriault – 12 to 2 p.m.

• Afternoons with Bryn Griffiths – 2 to 5 p.m.

• Oilers Now with Bob Stauffer – 5 to 7 p.m.

• Inside Sports – 7 to 8 p.m.

CHED will continue to be the radio home for Edmonton Oilers’ broadcasts, Corus said in the release.
