Founded in March 2023, NØRTHWAV Media, formerly known as River City Radio, is a next generation music and media platform built to elevate artists across Western Canada; with a growing commitment to supporting emerging talent from coast to coast.

What began as a grassroots online radio station in Edmonton, AB has evolved into a dynamic, multi-platform ecosystem for discovery, development, and creative expression. From Hip-Hop and R&B to Afroswing, NØRTHWAV Media showcases the full spectrum of Canada’s evolving sound.

Through online radio play, exclusive filmed interviews, editorial content, live events, and Spotify playlisting, we offer artists the visibility, tools, and community they need to grow.

With initiatives like regional showcases, seasonal cyphers, and our Development & Self-Management Program, NØRTHWAV Media is more than a platform - it’s a launchpad.

Wherever you’re from - BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, or Manitoba - tune into the station!

NØRTHWAV Media is the sound of what’s next.
