[edit] History
The station was launched in 1984 by Gateway City Broadcasting, at 1110 AM.[1] It was subsequently acquired in 1985 by Mid-Canada Radio,[2] who also changed the station's frequency to 840 AM.[3] In 1990, the station was acquired by the Pelmorex Radio Network.
Pelmorex converted the station to FM in 1994,[4] and sold it to Telemedia the following year.[5] Under Telemedia's ownership, the station adopted the current EZ Rock brand in 1999.
In 2002, Telemedia was acquired by Standard Broadcasting, and CHUR was one of the stations sold by Standard to Rogers Radio.
In July 2010, the station altered its musical format to present a more contemporary version of its AC Mainstream Plus blend more in line with the Hot AC version Of AT40 with Ryan Seacrest. With this shift, the station cancelled 'The 80's Lunch' program and 'Sunday at the 70's.' 'Solid Gold Saturday Night' was replaced by American Top 40. [6] In July 2011 The station also adopted a new logo as well as the positioning statement 'Today's Best Music.'
