History
editThe station was launched on April 17, 1977 by Blackburn Radio, the owner of the city's existing CKNX 920 AM and former owner of CKNX-TV, which is now owned by Bell Media. Blackburn subsequently launched another FM station in Wingham, CIBU-FM, in 2005.
In 1987, CKNX Broadcasting Limited (CKNX Broadcasting) was denied a license to establish rebroadcasters of CKNX-FM Wingham at Owen Sound (50 watts on 103.7 MHz) and Meaford (80 watts on 105.5 MHz).[1]
On August 29, 1989, the CRTC approved CKNX Broadcasting Limited application to establish a low-power rebroadcast FM transmitter in Centreville, on 104.9 MHz to serve Centreville and Meaford with 5 watts.[2] The callsign for the FM repeater would become CKNX-FM-2. On August 28, 2008, Blackburn Radio applied to the CRTC to change the Centreville/Meaford frequency from 104.9 to 102.7 MHz and to increase power from 5 to 250 watts which was denied on December 2 later that same year.[3]
In 2016, Blackburn submitted an application to the CRTC to delete CKNX-FM's repeater CKNX-FM-2.[4][5]
