[edit] History
The station originally began broadcasting at 810 AM in 1964 and received approval to move to its current frequency in 1985.[2]
On November 9, 2011, Corus Entertainment Inc., on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiary CKIK-FM Limited applied to the CRTC to add an FM transmitter to serve Calgary on the frequency 106.9 MHz to rebroadcast the programming of CHQR 770. [3]
