[edit] History

The station has been on the air since October 6, 1999, and was originally using the broadcast frequency of 94.3 FM. In 2002, CKUE switched frequencies with its sister station CKSY to obtain its current frequency of 95.1 FM.

The station is currently owned and operated by Blackburn Radio along with sister station CKSY after both were sold by Bea-Ver Communications in 2005. CKUE's signal is broadcast from a tower a few kilometers west of the community of Chatham, Ontario with an effective radiated power of 50,000 watts. The antenna is 438 feet high.

CKUE began broadcasting a booster signal out of Windsor, Ontario in March of 2004. In September 2006, the CRTC has approved the application to move this booster signal from 95.1 FM to 100.7 FM, which could eventually be spun off into a totally separate station from 95.1 FM.

During the 2004-2005, and 2005-2006 seasons of the OHL, 95.1 provided live coverage of Windsor Spitfires games, with Shadd Dales on play-by-play and Brendan McGuire on colour, but for 2006-2007, it returns to CKLW.

On December 29th 2006 at 12:00PM, CKUE-FM annouced that Jeff Burrows, former drummer of The Tea Party, will be taking over the mid-day host position at the radio station on January 2, 2007 at 10AM-3PM.

CKUE's Windsor rebroadcaster moved to 100.7 FM on January 2, 2007, enabling both the Windsor and Chatham transmitters to increase their transmitter power.
