History
Golden West Broadcasting received CRTC approval for a new licence to serve Fort Saskatchewan on January 10, 2012.[1] Signal tests on 107.9 FM began on October 23, 2012. The station launched at 10:00a.m. on November 27 of that year with a hot adult contemporary format branded at "Mix 107."
On May 23, 2023, Kenner Media received CRTC approval to acquire CKFT-FM from Golden West Broadcasting.[2]
On October 31, 2023, at 3 p.m., after stunting with a loop of a Vincent Price line from the Michael Jackson song "Thriller", the station launched its first tenure of all-Christmas music for the holiday season, and introduced former CKRA-FM personality Rob Christie as its new morning host.[3][4]
