CJPR-FM (94.9 MHz) is a Canadian radio station that broadcasts a country format under its on-air branding as New Country in Blairmore, Alberta. The station was owned & operated by Newcap Radio until they were bought out by Stingray Digital.

CJPR originally began broadcasting at 1490 AM in 1972, until it moved to 94.9 FM in 2002.[1]

On May 16, 2008, CJPR applied to the CRTC to add a transmitter at Pincher Creek, Alberta.[2] The station was given approval on July 28, 2008 to operate a rebroadcaster in Pincher Creek at 92.7 FM (CJPV-FM).[3]

In November 2016, CJPR rebranded under the Real Country brand, as with other Newcap-owned country stations in Alberta.[4]

On March 4, 2024, CJPR rebranded to New Country to match the company’s other country music stations.
