History

The station was launched in 1981 by Q Broadcasting, as a country station with the call sign CIOI and the brand name Country 101. Q Broadcasting sold its holdings to Monarch Broadcasting in 1990. Monarch converted the station to the CKKN call sign in 1995, and to its current format in 1999. The stations were in turn sold to Pattison in 2000, and became hot adult contemporary Hits FM at that time. By 2004, the station shifted to adult contemporary; ratings remained dismal from its adult top 40 format after the switch. It returned to hot adult contemporary as The River by 2005.
