Connect Media Network, operated by Akash Broadcasting Inc., is a Canadian broadcaster serving audiences across Metro Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, and Winnipeg through a growing family of radio brands built on local connection, trusted information, and engaging entertainment.
Our stations are designed to reflect the markets they serve. Across Western Canada, we bring together music, conversation, local issues, community perspectives, and relevant storytelling in ways that are meaningful to listeners and valuable to advertisers. Today, Connect Media Network includes:
Our services are built with a clear local-market focus. In Metro Vancouver, Edmonton, and Calgary, our brands serve audiences through ethnic and multicultural programming that reflects the diversity of those communities. In Winnipeg, Connect Winnipeg 1290 AM operates as an English-language commercial radio service, combining English-language presentation with programming that reflects the voices, experiences, and musical tastes of the city.
As a network, we believe strong media should do more than fill airtime. It should inform, entertain, connect people, and create room for conversations that matter. That means covering local issues, amplifying relevant perspectives, supporting community connection, and delivering content that fits the realities of everyday life.
We also see ourselves as more than a collection of radio stations. Connect Media Network is being built as a mixed-media company - one that brings together broadcast, community engagement, branded content, and digital opportunity to serve audiences and partners in a more connected way.
At every stage, our focus remains the same: serve the market well, earn listener trust, and build platforms that connect people through sound, story, and relevance.
