CKEY is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 101.1 FM in Fort Erie, Ontario. The station broadcasts a CHR format with a rhythmic lean under branding WiLD 101.

The station originally launched in 1986 as AM 530 CJFT. It moved to FM in 1991, and adopted its current callsign. Previous to adopting the name "WiLD 101," the station aired a hot AC format, which has since moved to sister station CFLZ 105.1 FM. The "WiLD 101" branding was adopted several years ago when the station, then running hip hop and urban music, was under a local marketing agreement with Citadel, who operated the station as part of its Buffalo, New York cluster. That LMA is no longer in effect due to the CRTC threatening to revoke its licence.

CKEY is locally co-owned with CJRN-AM 710 AM and CFLZ 105.1 FM.

CKEY was also the former callsign of an AM radio station in Toronto, which now airs a sports format as CJCL.

Because of its format and music choice, CKEY competes with long-time urban station WBLK and pop music station WKSE since CKEY also serves Buffalo.
