History
The station was launched on April 17, 1977 by Blackburn Radio, the owner of the city's existing CKNX 920 AM and former owner of CKNX-TV, which is now owned by Bell Media. Blackburn subsequently launched another FM station in Wingham, CIBU-FM, in 2005.
In 1987, CKNX Broadcasting Limited (CKNX Broadcasting) was denied a license to establish rebroadcasters of CKNX-FM Wingham at Owen Sound (50 watts on 103.7 MHz) and Meaford (80 watts on 105.5 MHz).[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/1987/DB87-859.HTM Decision CRTC 87-859]
On August 29, 1989, the CRTC approved CKNX Broadcasting Limited application to establish a low-power rebroadcast FM transmitter in Centreville, on 104.9 MHz to serve Centreville and Meaford with 5 watts.[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/1989/DB89-611.HTM Decision CRTC 89-611 CRTC Decision 89-611] The callsign for the FM repeater would become CKNX-FM-2. On August 28, 2008, Blackburn Radio applied to the CRTC to change the Centreville/Meaford frequency from 104.9 to 102.7 MHz and to increase power from 5 to 250 watts which was denied on December 2 later that same year.[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2008/db2008-338.htm Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2008-338]
In 2016, Blackburn submitted an application to the CRTC to delete CKNX-FM's repeater CKNX-FM-2.[https://services.crtc.gc.ca/pub/DocWebBroker/OpenDocument.aspx?AppNo=2016-1195-5 2016-1195-5], Deletion of CKNX-FM-2 Centreville, DM#2749040 - APP - Application - administrative proceedings - PDF.pdf, CRTC, November 18, 2016https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1305882406117772&substory_index=0&id=191081700931187 {{User-generated source|certain=yes|date=March 2022}}
