CJKR 97.5 "Power 97" Winnipeg, MB

Power 97 FM hits Winnipeg’s airwaves with a punch of heavy guitars and unapologetic rock energy. Broadcasting as CJKR 97.5, this station doesn’t just play active rock—it cranks it loud enough to rattle your speakers. Whether you're stuck in traffic on Portage Avenue or blasting anthems at a backyard party, their playlist delivers everything from Metallica to Foo Fighters with zero apologies.

Right now in the CJKR studio, someone’s probably headbanging while cueing up another track. That’s the vibe here: raw, live, and louder than your neighbor’s lawnmower. No endless ads for mattress stores, no pop sellouts—just the meaty riffs and drum solos that defined rock radio before it got polite. Flip on their HD stream and the mix hits harder than a February blizzard off the Red River.

Need proof? Scroll their real-time playlist. Every track that just shook Winnipeg’s skyline is listed—no mystery, no filler. Classic deep cuts? Check. New releases from bands that still believe in guitar solos? Obviously. They even drop local acts between Slayer and Pearl Jam, because Manitoba’s scene deserves the spotlight too.

Streaming’s stupid simple: click play, get instant eardrum therapy. No signups, no fees, just 24/7 rock served at broadcast quality. Forget algorithms—human DJs actually pick these songs. When they say “commercial rock,” they mean the good kind: less corporate fluff, more axe-wielding riffs. If your workday needs a distortion pedal boost or your weekend demands a soundtrack for chaos, Power 97’s already cued up. Turn it up. Winnipeg does.
