scheduled for July 16 to 18, has been rescheduled for July 22 to 24, 2021.

Prior to rescheduling the IWK 250 until 2021, management has been in continual contact with government authorities and also explored options to hold a scaled-back event, but since none were feasible, management made the tough decision to reschedule for next year.

The events w scheduled for August 15 and 29 are on hold at this point with hopes they can be held in some fashion before the season ends, pending COVID-19 restrictions and start-up of the touring series scheduled to participate.

Fans should visit riversidespeedway.ca by August 31, 2020, to submit their request to either transfer their camping reservation or request a refund.

All 2020 Premium Seats and Season Passes will be transferred to 2021. Those fans will receive a confirmation to that effect in the coming weeks.

All gift certificates issued for 2020 events will be honoured in 2021

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.
