A new Winnipeg radio station was launched Tuesday morning on the same frequency as the former Hank FM. K-ROCK 100.7 began at 6 a.m. with the “Bob & Tom Show” — a syndicated program out of the U.S. featuring news, sports, lifestyle content, and celebrity interviews. The station is promising to provide listeners with world [...]

100.7 Hank FM needs to hire a new program director — that is, if it’s in their budget. The rapidly declining NewCap Radio-owned country station recently saw their PD Abbey White (right) leave for another NewCap property. White will head up KG Country 95.5 FM in Red Deer, Alberta in the same position. The move [...]

It’s not a surprise Winnipeg country radio station Hank FM was dead last again in the latest spring ratings. Although, to their credit, they’re trying to compete and make something of themselves. That is, at least according to a recent renewal application the station filed with the CRTC to amend its licence. To sum it [...]

More staff were let go Wednesday morning from 100.7 Hank FM. This time, the entire morning show was abolished due to budget cuts, we’re told. Trevor “Moose” Stoyko and Julie Buckingham are the two most recent hosts to be out of work from the NewCap Radio-owned station. Stoyko was originally brought on board in December [...]

On Friday, 100.7 Hank FM terminated their midday host Carie Jones. Now we’re learning they also cut ties with their receptionist. Is anybody still employed over there?

100.7 Hank FM let another of its staff members go Friday — this time it was midday host Carie Jones. Back in September, the country radio station also canned two members of their sales team. With a station that’s plagued last in the ratings, things don’t look good for the NewCap entity. A source at [...]

What a way to start a Monday. ChrisD.ca has learned that 100.7 Hank FM has fired two of its sales people today. No word on what led to the dismissals. Factor in the additional personnel changes at other stations across the city, and there are a lot of people looking for work in the Winnipeg [...]

Warning: The following video may be disturbing to some viewers who do not wish to see a fairly large man without his shirt on. 100.7 Hank FM morning host Trevor “Moose” Stoyko is on a mission to meet 100,000 people in 100 days. As part of that goal, Moose was to meet 60,000 people by [...]

Parents brought their children down to Kildonan Place Shopping Centre on Friday to attempt to break a Guinness World Record. The shopping centre partnered with the ABC Canada Literacy Foundation to break the Guinness record for “Most Children Reading With An Adult, Multiple Locations.” The event was in conjunction with Family Literacy Day. The national [...]

Posted by Sarah Klein The thing about most Winnipeg media outlets is that they don’t respond for comment when we do a story about them. They generally brush the blogosphere aside — but Hank FM didn’t. Michelle Pereira, Sales Manager for 100.7 Hank FM, gave us the following statement regarding the little typo on their [...]

Posted by Sarah Klein Just because your radio station is last in the ratings, doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t proofread your marketing material. The new billboards for 100.7 Hank FM are kind of an embarrassment having been placed around the city with a noticeable error.
