The Glynmill Inn was the site of VOWN, or Voice of West Newfoundland, which started in 1943.
Yesterday was a special day at BayFM. Our location, the Glynmill Inn, was actually the site of the VOWN, or Voice of West Newfoundland. Two hundred guests gathered in the ballroom on July 5th, 1943 and the broadcast opened with the Ode to Newfoundland, played by the Corner Brook Militia Band. In March of 1949, VOWN adopted its present call sign of CBY, the CBC.

MHA says Corner Brook will lose $400K a year with changes to the Capital Works Program
Jim Parsons says the multi-years Capital Works Program has traditionally provided funding for 22 of the larger communities but that’s now been whittled down to 7, which Corner Brook is part of. But, he says the program has changed from a three year to a four year funding cycle, and no one knew this was coming since there were no consultations.
