The station serves the communities on both sides of the Canso Causeway, linking Cape Breton Island with mainland Nova Scotia.

The music

The Hawk plays a mix of hit music: current pop hits together with favourites from past decades, so the station suits a broad audience. Cape Breton is famous for its music, and East Coast artists have their place in the playlist alongside national and international stars.

Local radio for the Strait area

For a small region, a local station matters. The Hawk's hosts talk about news, weather, road conditions on the Causeway and community events across Port Hawkesbury, Mulgrave, Antigonish County and Inverness and Richmond counties. The station follows local sports, festivals and fundraisers, and it is often the first place people hear about storms, power outages and closures.

Acadia Broadcasting in the Maritimes

Acadia Broadcasting runs a network of local stations in Atlantic Canada, including Hot Country 103.5 in Halifax, 91.9 The Bend in Moncton and 97.3 The Wave in Saint John. You will find all of them on this site.

Cape Bretoners everywhere

Many Cape Bretoners live and work far from home, in Halifax, Ontario or Alberta. Online, The Hawk keeps them connected with the news and voices of the Strait area. The stream works on any phone, tablet or computer.
