History

In 1923, the Southam family bought "The Province". By 1945 the paper's printers went out on strike. "The Province" had been the best selling newspaper in Vancouver, ahead of the "Vancouver Sun" and the "News Herald". As a result of the six-week strike, it lost significant market share, at one point falling to third place. In 1957, "The Province" and the "Vancouver Sun" were sold to Pacific Press Limited which was jointly owned by both newspaper companies.

CFCB/CKCD radio station

On March 23, 1922, The "Province" launched a new radio station, CFCB, at 2 p.m. with news and stock market reports. There were news bulletins throughout the day, followed by music. Sign off was at 10 p.m. The paper changed the station's name to CKCD in 1923, placing it at 730 kHz in 1925, then turned its operations over to the Pacific Broadcasting Co. in 1933 while continuing to supply news reports to the station.

In 1936, the newly-formed Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, established to function as both broadcaster and broadcasting regulator (taking over the latter function from previous regulator the Department of Marine and Fisheries), asked CKCD to relinquish its licence, and the station signed off for the final time in February 1940.
