Owned by Harvard Broadcasting, it broadcasts an alternative rock format branded as X92.9. CFEX's studios are located along the Red Mile on 17 Avenue SW in Calgary, while its transmitter is located on Old Banff Coach Road in western Calgary. As of Spring 2018, CFEX is ranked #7 in the Calgary market ratings by Numeris. HistoryIn 2006, the CRTC approved an application by Harvard Broadcasting for a new FM radio station in Calgary, which would broadcast an alternative rock format.[1] The station officially launched at midnight on January 1, 2007 as X92.9, hosting a free New Year's Eve concert at the University of Calgary's Mac Hall featuring Hot Hot Heat. Owing to the group's mixed reception, the station promoted a "No Nickelback Guarantee" in comparison to its main rival, CJAY-FM. Its stance against the band has gained national attention on several occasions, including its endorsement of a petition for the NFL to not have the band perform at halftime during an American Thanksgiving game in Detroit in 2011.[2][3][4][5] On December 21, 2012, in honour of the alleged Mayan apocalypse, CFEX stunted by playing R.E.M.'s song "It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" all day long, interspersed with "Get to Know a Mayan" and "Apocalypse Survival Tips" segments.[6] CFEX repeated this stunt on the night of November 8, 2016 and the day of November 9, 2016, in response to Donald Trump winning the U.S. presidential election.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}} References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2006/db2006-321.htm|title=Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2006-321|publisher=CRTC|language=en|access-date=2018-09-02}} 2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.archive.thegauntlet.ca/story/x-x-treme-now|title=X is for X-treme!!!
