Fort McMurray's Rock Station
97.9 ROCK plays active and classic rock: rock anthems from the 70s, 80s and 90s, hard rock and the modern rock of today.

Local radio for Wood Buffalo
Fort McMurray is a city of workers from across Canada and around the world, and local radio helps bring that community together. Between songs, 97.9 ROCK's hosts share local news, weather, road conditions and events, from concerts to Fort McMurray Oil Barons hockey. During emergencies such as the 2016 wildfire, local stations were a key source of information, and they remain an important link in a city that is far from other urban centres.
