For Immediate Release
EDMONTON, January 8, 2021 – Continuing a 25-year partnership, Corus Entertainment and Oilers Entertainment Group announced today a three-year extension deal that sees 630 CHED maintain the exclusive radio broadcast rights for all pre-season, regular season and playoff games through to the 2022-23 NHL season.
630 CHED has been the home to Edmonton Oilers radio broadcasts since 1995 and the home of Oilers NOW since 2011. Great voices like Jack Michaels and Bob Stauffer continue to play key roles on the broadcast and moving forward the radio play-by-play team will expand and draw from the very best in the hockey world. Hockey fans can tune in to 630 CHED, Edmonton’s news, conversation and live sports station, for all the action or listen online at 630ched.com
Oilers NOW with Bob Stauffer will continue to air each weekday from noon – 2 p.m. As the ultimate insider and expert commentator for the Edmonton Oilers, Bob Stauffer brings listeners the latest Oilers news first, along with the latest news across the NHL. The Faceoff Show, hosted by 630 CHED sports radio announcer Reid Wilkins and former NHL player Rob Brown will continue ahead of every Oilers game and fan favourite, Overtime Openline, will also remain the station’s interactive, post-game show.
“After 25 years and counting, 630 CHED is synonymous with Oilers hockey and the station is proud to continue to be the home of these broadcasts,” said John Vos, Regional Program Director, Corus Radio Alberta. “Fans know that they can rely on us for exciting play-by-play updates and in-depth, exclusive coverage, and we are looking forward to continuing this great partnership for many future seasons.”
“630 CHED is a huge part of Oilers history and we couldn’t happier for our fans to continue the partnership into the future,” said Tom Anselmi, President of Business Operations & COO of Oilers Entertainment Group. “Oilers broadcasts on 630 CHED are recognized widely for their depth of coverage, and engaging delivery, they really are best-in-class across the entire NHL.”
630 CHED (CHED-AM) is Edmonton’s news, conversation and live sports station. 630 CHED delivers up-to-date news on current events and breaking stories that affect its community and residents, with a broadcast range reaching as far west as the Rockies and to nearly all of Alberta’s borders. The station also holds the official broadcast rights for the EE Football Team.

Excellent sports broadcasting. I want more Edmonton Eskimo information.
The rest of CHED as a news station has turned into an eastern canadian Global-CBC type mouth piece. And the result is little or no advertising from the public Covid suffering sector.
I hope the sports portion of the Oilers and Eskimos are able to pay the salaries of CHED.
I bet Bob Layton is laughing at CHED since he retired.

I am a former Corus shareholder, trying to determine some of Corus radios revenue streams. Does the Edmonton Oilers Entertainment Group purchase the airtime from Ched, and in turn, sell the advertising, and collect the revenue for themselves?
