At one point in its history, CKUA
was a "feeder station" for the then-fledgling CBC network. Indeed, Elsie
Park Gowan's 20-part historical series, The Building of Canada was first
broadcast on CKUA in 1937, and gained an extra audience in 1939 when CBC
re-broadcast it on its national network. The relationship continued into
the '40s with the CBC producing shows for CKUA, such as dramas and
agricultural talks.
