CKQK-FM is a Canadian radio station broadcasting at 105.5 FM in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island with a Top 40 format branded on-air as Hot 105.5. The station is owned by Newcap Radio which also owns sister station CHTN-FM. CKQK's studios & offices are located at 176 Great George street in the downtown Charlottetown area.
The station launched on July 25, 2006 under an active rock format branded as K-Rock 105.5 but was re-branded under a new format on January 12, 2012, with the station's last song AC/DC's "Thunderstruck," being abruptly cut mid-way at 1:05 PM (AST) in favour of a lengthy launch montage that was then followed by the first song under the new format being Flo Rida's "Good Feeling."[1] Hot 105.5's logo and presentation is being patterned after its Top 40/CHR sister station CIHT-FM in Ottawa.[2]
On November 13, 2008, CKQK applied to add a new FM transmitter at Elmira and another at St. Edward, Prince Edward Island. The application was approved January 19, 2009.[3]
