CHRE is a radio station in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. Airing at 105.7 FM, the station broadcasts an adult contemporary format with the brand name 105.7 EZ Rock.
CHRE was launched in 1967 as CHSC-FM by Radio Station CHSC Ltd., the licensee of the city's CHSC. The station adopted its current callsign in 1979 when it was acquired by Robert Redmond, and the parent company became known as Redmond Communications in 1985. The station was subsequently sold to Affinity Radio Group in 1999.
Affinity was acquired by Telemedia the following year, and Telemedia was itself bought out by Standard Broadcasting in 2002.
