History

The station has been on the air since December 23, 1953. Originally broadcasting at 1230 AM, before moving to 1320 in 1960.

In 2006, the station was licensed by the CRTC to convert to the FM dial.[1] As of December 11, 2007, CKEC moved to 94.1 FM. Simulcasting remained on both AM and FM for 90 days, before converting entirely to FM.

On October 28, 2011, Hector Broadcasting applied to the CRTC for a new radio station which will broadcast a mix of classic rock and classic hits with some contemporary rock. If approved, the new station will operate at 97.9 MHz.[2] Hector Broadcasting received a licence to operate a new station, CKEZ-FM, on May 9, 2012.

In November 2017, it was announced that pending approval by the CRTC, this station and its sister CKEZ-FM were to be purchased by Newcap Radio.[3]

gollark: I think the gravity manipulation stuff in this obeys conservation of energy, so just use the really energy dense power source to explode.
gollark: How would that even work? Replacing the stomach with a stupidly high-powered force field somehow?
gollark: I'm alt-tabbing between this and scaling up solar in Factorio.
gollark: I have spare time *and* don't know what I'm doing.
