If there was any doubt that FUNNY 1290 is coming to Winnipeg Bell has now launched a website with nothing on it yet:

Same applies to CKST 1040:

1290 CFRW now all comedy as of 9:00 Feb 12 2021

ID as Winnipeg's New Funny 1290 AM

There is a disclaimer saying that not everyone may agree with what is said and the material is that of the comedians and not CFRW or Bell.

I really enjoyed that great introduction to the station.

With literally no fanfare and an abrupt flip from the music loop to a lame Ellen bit, FUNNY 1290 comes to Winnipeg.

I can say this much for the Funny format: it is great for DX.

Pretty easy to hear stations "under" a Funny station at night.
