CKCH-FM is a radio station broadcasting at 103.5 FM in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada. The station was one of several new radio stations approved in 2007 for the Atlantic Provinces and is also one of two new radio stations for the Cape Breton Regional Municipality[1] along with sister station CHRK-FM. The station airs a country format branded on-air as New Country 103.5. The station is owned by Stingray Group which also owns sister station CHRK as well as numerous other radio stations across Canada.
The station license was originally awarded to a Cape Breton group that included local investor / businessman Barry Martin, and broadcasters, Jay Bedford and Alex Morrison. In late 2012, the CRTC approved the application by Newcap Radio to purchase the remaining 70.1% of the shares from Barry Martin. In November 2018, Stingray Digital acquired Newcap Radio.
