Antigonish MLA and Health and Wellness Minister Michelle Thompson says the app will now allow Nova Scotians to access health records.  This follows a successful three-month pilot project with 15 family doctors and seven nurse practioners at six clinics.  The pilot was made available to more than 13,000 patients.

Canadian Radio Awards: 989 XFM Small Market Station of The Year

Broadcast Dialogue has announced the winners of the inaugural Canadian Radio Awards, which we’ve dubbed “The Howards” after our publisher emeritus Howard Christensen.

When Howard, a radio veteran and one of the original Broadcast News anchors, founded Broadcast Dialogue in 1992, he saw a need for both timely delivery of Canadian broadcast industry news, but also recognized the importance of creating a sense of community.

989 XFM is very proud to be the winner of the 2020 Station of Year – Small Market award.
