Line 31: Every year in October, in an event called "Bras Across the Bridge", for [[National Breast Cancer Awareness Month\|Breast Cancer Awareness Month]], CHBN collects [[bra]]s from listeners, donating $1 to the [[Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation]] for every bra collected. At the end of the month, they then tie all the bras together and span the string of bras across the [[High Level Bridge (Edmonton)\|High Level Bridge]] as many times as they can. At the time of their launch, CHBN was jointly owned by [[CHUM Limited]] and [[Milestone Radio]]. In June 2007, all of CHUM's assets, including its share of CHBN, were sold to [[CTVglobemedia]]. On June 23, 2010, it was announced that CHBN would be sold to [[Rogers Radio\|Rogers]] (which also owns Edmonton's [[CKER-FM\|World FM]] and [[CHDI-FM\|Sonic]]), along with its sister station in London, Ontario, [[CHST-FM]], pending CRTC approval.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.radio-info.com/news/canadas-rogers-broadcasting-buys-edmonton-chr-bounce-fm \|title=Canada's Rogers Broadcasting buys Edmonton CHR "Bounce FM" \|date=June 22, 2010 \|work=Radio-Info.com \|access-date=June 24, 2010 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100627032732/http://www.radio-info.com/news/canadas-rogers-broadcasting-buys-edmonton-chr-bounce-fm \|archive-date=June 27, 2010 \|~~dead-~~url-status=~~yes~~dead }}</ref><ref>[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2010/2010-715.htm#27 Broadcasting Notice of Consultation CRTC 2010-715]</ref> The acquisition also saw the reunion of CHBN with its sister station [[CKEM-DT]] for the first time since 2007. When [[CFMG-FM]] flipped from [[adult contemporary\|AC]] to [[contemporary hit radio\|CHR]] as "Virgin Radio", it marked the first three-station FM top 40 battle in [[Edmonton]] as of February [[2011 in radio\|2011]] (the other competitor being [[CJNW-FM\|CJNW]]). Since the launch of Virgin Radio, The Bounce has been playing fewer commercials, as seen with the introduction of Commercial Free Mondays, and playing more currents and higher-charting songs than its competition. CHBN will continue to report on [[Mediabase]] and [[Nielsen BDS]]' Canadian [[contemporary hit radio]] panel. Line 38: ==Bounce Showdown== The Bounce has held seven singing contests, named the "Bounce Showdown", it has been called Canada's most successful talent competition.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.canada.com/edmontonjournal/news/culture/story.html?id=cf8b5b9e-d724-4ae5-8124-8c7630f4e0d3 \|title=Bounce boasts no idle idols in Showdown ~~\|author=~~ \|date=June 21, 2008 \|work=Edmonton Journal \|accessdate=April 12, 2010 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121108112103/http://www.canada.com/edmontonjournal/news/culture/story.html?id=cf8b5b9e-d724-4ae5-8124-8c7630f4e0d3 \|archive-date=November 8, 2012 \|~~dead-~~url-status=~~yes~~dead }}</ref> The winner of the Bounce Showdown is signed to record two songs with a record label, and their songs played on the Bounce.
