You asked for it, a breath of fresh Air on your radio station.

With dozens of people jammed into the on air booth, Air 106.1 (91.5 in Cochrane) launched, with Mayor Peter Brown hitting the launch button.

This is a change that has been called for by listeners in the Airdrie, Cochrane and Rocky View area for some time, and really started to come to life after Golden West Radio purchased CFIT back in April of 2011.

Golden West Broadcasting President Lyndon Friesen says the the research shows this IS Airdrie's radio station.

Mayor Brown has not only excited to be the first person to push the button for the change, but for the change itself.

Many of Airdrie's business community were in attendance, including Lorna Hunt, executive director of the Airdrie Chamber of Commerce.
