CKBT-FM is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 91.5 FM in Kitchener, Ontario from the Global TV tower at 475 Ayr Road. The station broadcasts a contemporary hit radio format branded as 91.5 The Beat, with offices in Kitchener.
History
The station was launched by CanWest Global in January 2004.
[1] The original studios were at 235 King Street East, Suite 120,
Kitchener.
91.5 The Beat logo used from 2004 - 2007
The station originally aired a rhythmic top 40 format (e.g. rap / hip hop, reggae, R&B), until switching to its current format in 2005.
In September 2006, Corus Entertainment, already owner of CJDV-FM in nearby Cambridge, announced it would buy CKBT and Winnipeg's CJZZ-FM (now CJGV-FM) from CanWest, subject to Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approval. The transaction was approved by the CRTC on July 6, 2007,[2] and as of July 29, 2007, CKBT was officially made part of Corus Entertainment's radio properties.
A year later, Corus reproduced the top 40 format on Barrie's CIQB-FM (which shifted from hot AC).
On August 14, 2009, CKBT-FM moved into a new broadcast facility with brother station CJDV-FM at 50 Sportsworld Crossing Road, Kitchener.
