CKKW-FM is a Canadian radio station licensed to Kitchener, Ontario, with studios located in Waterloo broadcasting at 99.5 FM. The station is owned by Bell Media and airs a classic hits format branded on-air as KFUN 99.5. ==History== The 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.〔http://www.broadcasting-history.ca/index3.html?url=http%3A//www.broadcasting-history.ca/listings_and_histories/radio/histories.php%3Fid%3D331%26historyID%3D123〕 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.〔(Broadcasting Notice of Public Hearing CRTC 2008-2-3 )〕 The application indicated that CKKW will keep its present oldies format on FM. The application was approved on October 3, 2008.〔(Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2008-277 )〕 The flip, which occurred on January 6, 2009, resulted in a continuation of the oldies format as "KFUN 99.5". 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.〔(CKKW's towers start to fall ) ''Scott Fybush, North East Radio Watch'' March 30, 2009.〕 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. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CKKW-FM」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
