Radiothon
Broadcasting for Healthcare Heroes
CKNX holds an annual Radiothon with local, participating hospital foundations, where listeners can call in and donate to the hospital of their choice. Mark this event on your calendar and give back to your community!
Support for Local Hospital Foundations
Each year, several local hospital foundations take part in this great cause. In past years, CKNX AM 920 has broadcast the entire Radiothon event while 101.7 The One and Cool 94.5 broadcast intermittently throughout the day. Listeners can phone in and donate to any hospital foundation they choose. It’s a fantastic way to make a contribution to the healthcare community you and your loved ones rely on.
