CKCH-FM New Country 103.5: Cape Breton’s Country Station from Membertou
CKCH-FM—better known as New Country 103.5—delivers today’s country sound to Cape Breton from its home base in Membertou, Nova Scotia. Broadcasting at 103.5 FM and streaming worldwide, the station blends chart-topping hits with a distinctly local voice, keeping listeners connected to the people, places, and stories of Sydney and the surrounding communities.
What sets New Country 103.5 apart is its balance of big-league country and hometown service. You’ll hear the latest from Nashville alongside emerging Canadian artists, then pivot to community updates that matter on the island: weather moving across the harbour, road conditions, school events, and fundraisers. Local hosts guide the day with friendly, high-energy breaks, while specialty evening shows keep the momentum going for late-night drives and weekend plans.
For music fans, the promise is simple: a steady flow of sing-along anthems, fresh releases, and feel-good throwbacks that fit a workday just as well as a road trip on the Cabot Trail. For Cape Bretoners, the station doubles as a daily touchpoint—an audio snapshot of life here, from small-business wins to concert announcements and community spotlights that celebrate the island’s spirit.
