CKVV-FM is a Canadian radio station broadcasting a variety/adult hits format on the frequency of 97.5 MHz (FM) in Kemptville, Ontario. The station is branded as 97.5 Juice FM.

History

On December 13, 2010, the Haliburton Broadcasting Group applied to operate a new FM radio station in Kemptville at 97.5 MHz. This application received CRTC approval on April 21, 2011.[1]

The station is Kemptville's first local commercial FM radio station. The station launched on February 27, 2012.[2] The station was branded as Star 97.5.

It is also the third English-language AC station serving the National Capital Region; the others are CJMJ-FM and CJWL-FM.

On April 23, 2012 Vista Broadcast Group, which owns a number of radio stations in western Canada, announced a deal to acquire Haliburton Broadcasting, in cooperation with Westerkirk Capital.[3] The transaction was approved by the CRTC on October 19, 2012.[4]

On September 9, 2014, the station changed its branding to Juice FM with a variety hits format. [5]

Technical Issues

The station may receive interference from a 97 kilowatt radio station, WFRY, out of Watertown, New York.[6][7]
