From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CKUL-FM is a Halifax, Nova Scotia radio station broadcasting on 96.5 MHz. It first went on the air on August 30, 1990 as 96.5 Sun FM, with the call letters CIEZ. The station was rebranded as Kool 96.5 FM in October 2004, when it adopted its current call letters.
CKUL broadcasts classic hits. The station is currently operated as a joint venture between Newcap Broadcasting and CTVglobemedia. In 2007, both companies received approval to convert their remaining AM stations in the market, CFDR and CJCH respectively, to the FM band, which would give each company two wholly-owned FM stations in the Halifax market, the maximum permitted under current CRTC regulations.
Newcap has since announced a deal to purchase CTV's share of CKUL, pending CRTC approval.[1] Accordingly, CFDR's conversion to FM appears to be on hold.
