CKFM-FM
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CKFM (99.9 Mix FM) is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting a hot adult contemporary format at 99.9 on the FM dial in Toronto, Ontario.
[edit] History
The station was originally launched in 1938 by Rogers Broadcasting (operated by the father of the founder of Rogers Communications, Ted Rogers Sr.) as experimental FM station VE9AK. It began broadcasting at 99.9 FM in 1947. The station was subsequently acquired by Standard Broadcasting with CFRB in 1978.
The station adopted the brand name, Mix 99.9, in 1991. The brand name was changed slightly to 99.9 Mix FM or simply Mix FM on August 8, 2006, and the branding was phased in throughout the day. This coincided with the return of former Kiss 92 morning show hosts Mad Dog and Billie.
On-air promotions for contests already advise listeners to go to the station's new website at 999mixfm.com, although it is simply a redirect to the old site.
