History
Switch to FM
On September 19, 2011, Newcap Inc. applied to convert CKSQ from the AM dial at 1400 kHz to the FM dial.[2] The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission approved Newcap's application on February 22, 2012 and the new station will operate at 93.3 MHz.[3]
In 2012, CKSQ moved from 1400 kHz to 93.3 MHz and began testing in September. The official launch on FM was set for October 15, 2012. Formerly branded as Q14 Country, the station is now known as Q93.3 [4]
On November 7, 2016, CKSQ rebranded under the Real Country brand, as with many other Newcap-owned country stations in Alberta.[5]
The station was acquired by Stingray Group in 2018.
On March 4, 2024, CKVH rebranded once again, this time to Stingray's New Country brand.[6]
