[edit] History
The station began broadcasting a test signal on December 15, 2003 and officially launched on April 27, 2004. Initially, the station presented a Triple-A format. At the time, this was the first of its kind in Canada. Kick-FM used the tag line 'A Rock 'n' Soul Adventure' for the first year of its existence.
After determining there was very limited interest in a Triple-A format in Winnipeg, Kick-FM migrated to a unique Modern Rock format. The playlist features songs popular in the UK and at College radio in the U.S. As well, Kick-FM plays more Winnipeg-based musicians than any other station in the city (22% of its play list). The majority of music on Kick-FM's playlist is unique to the station as no other radio stations in the Winnipeg area offers a mix anywhere near that of Kick-FM.
Kick-FM, which specializes in new music, identifies itself as "Winnipeg's New Sound."
