History

CKSY first broadcast on July 1, 1986, and was originally carried 95.1 FM. CKSY originally aired an easy listening music format branded as "Cosy," which evolved into a brighter, more contemporary AC format by the mid-1990s.
On May 4, 2002, CKSY switched frequencies with sister station CKUE to obtain its current frequency of 94.3 FM. In 2005, CKSY and CKUE were acquired by Blackburn Radio.
By 2010, the station had dropped much of its "traditional" AC music and adopted a brighter, more contemporary music mix, while remaining within the boundaries of the AC format. In 2014, sister station CKUE-FM would ultimately drop active rock for a soft AC format, and has since shifted to a classic rock format as "Cool FM."
