CKHJ
CKHJ (1260 AM) is a radio station in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. The station broadcasts a country format under the Pure Country branding. The station is owned by Bell Media which also owns sister stations CFXY-FM and CIBX-FM. There are two rebroadcasters of CKHJ on FM due to the AM station's weak signal to the south and east of the city: CKHJ-1-FM on 95.1 in New Maryland, and CKHJ-2-FM in 103.5 in Oromocto. All three transmitters can be heard over most of Fredericton, effectively creating a simulcast. CKHJ uses on the air-branding of Pure Country 103.5 (a name adopted on May 28, 2019, as part of a country-wide format reorganization by Bell that also involved CKTY-FM and 11 other stations), referencing the frequency of CKHJ-2-FM, which is a rimshot signal.
