Why Harvard Excelerate
Exists
Our Origin Story
Harvard Excelerate has a rich history spanning 40 years. Starting as a family-owned business in broadcast and traditional media, we’ve evolved into a complete digital solutions company to better serve local businesses like yours.

The Hill Family
Harvard Broadcasting has a robust business history dating back to 1903 when the Hill family sold land where the Saskatchewan Legislative Buildings now stand. In 1977, the CRTC approved the sale of CKCK-TV to Harvard, marking the birth of Harvard Broadcasting.

Expansion Into Digital
Over the years, Harvard has expanded its radio station portfolio and now boasts 13 radio stations across 7 communities in Western Canada, including Calgary and Saskatchewan. In January of 2020, Harvard welcomed a team of experts in digital marketing from Carbon Marketing to join their team and take their services to the next level. This marked the beginning of a new chapter for Harvard, as they transformed into Excelerate – a complete digital solutions provider.
