CHNS-FM 89.9 The Wave is Halifax's classic hits destination, spinning the best of the 70s and 80s from icons like Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. Owned by Maritime Broadcasting System, the station carries a proud legacy as Nova Scotia's first broadcaster — originally signing on in 1926 — and keeps weekends lively with vintage Casey Kasem American Top 40 countdown specials.
