The station is owned by Bell Media and airs an adult hits format branded on-air as KFUN 99.5. HistoryThe station originally began broadcasting in 1959 at 1320 AM, until it moved to 1090 AM in 1975. In February 1984, CKKW began AM-stereo broadcasting with a Motorola C-Quam format.[1] Originally owned by Carl Pollock and later becoming a subsidiary of his company Electrohome, CHUM Limited acquired CKKW in 1993, and shortly thereafter instated the oldies format and "Oldies 1090" branding. This was maintained until 2009, except for a brief period from 2001 to 2002 when it was part of CHUM's short-lived sports radio network, The Team. On April 10, 2008, CKKW applied to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to convert the station from the AM band to the FM band at 99.5 MHz.[2] The application indicated that CKKW will keep its present oldies format on FM. The application was approved on October 3, 2008.[3] The flip, which occurred on January 6, 2009, resulted in a continuation of the oldies format as "KFUN 99.5".[4] Although the station was allowed to simulcast at 1090 AM until April 6 of that year, the AM signal is believed to have been shut down on January 16; the old AM towers were taken down in March.[5] The 99.5 MHz frequency was formerly occupied by CIKZ-FM from 2003, until it moved to its current frequency in 2005 due to interference from WDCX-FM in Buffalo, New York. KFUN now airs an Adult Hits format playing hits from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.
