CKTO-FM is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 100.9 FM in Truro, Nova Scotia. The station airs an adult hits format and is branded as Bounce Radio 100.9. The station has been on the air since 1965.

The station is owned by Bell Media, which also owns sister station CKTY-FM as well as six other radio stations in the Atlantic provinces.

History

The station first began broadcasting in March 1965 originally as CKCL-FM before adopting its current call letters. The station's original call letters were later used on a Chilliwack, British Columbia radio station serving the Greater Vancouver area. The station was a CBC Radio affiliate until February 4, 1982. The station was owned and operated by Radio Atlantic Ltd before it was purchased by Telemedia in 1999 and by Astral Media in 2002 and then Bell Media in 2013. CKTO was originally known as Mix 100.9 FM (or 100.9 The Mix) before it adopted the "EZ Rock" branding in 2001 and became known as EZ Rock 100.9 FM. The Big Dog 100.9 branding would be adopted one year later.

As part of a mass format reorganization by Bell Media, on May 18, 2021, CKTO-FM flipped to adult hits, and adopted the Bounce Radio branding.[1]
