History



On October 29, 1981, CFCN Communications, Ltd. was awarded a license for a new FM station to broadcast at 92.5 MHz. The station officially launched on August 11, 1982, as CJAX-FM, and aired a country format. In June 1986, CJAX flipped to soft rock, and changed its call letters to CKNG-FM, branding itself as King FM. In 1989, CKNG was sold to Moffat Communications. In September 1991, CKNG-FM became Power 92, a CHR/Top 40 station, which launched with The Power by Snap. In August 1992, the station was sold to Westcom Radio. On January 30, 2000, the station was sold to Corus Entertainment, and became a Corus station. On June 27, 2003, CKNG shifted to hot adult contemporary as Power 92.5. Seven months later, on January 13, 2004, the station flipped to adult hits, branded as 92.5 Joe FM, taking the format from sister station CHQT, which returned to oldies.

On January 9, 2013, CKNG returned to hot adult contemporary, branded as The New 92.5 Fresh FM, becoming the third Corus radio station to adopt the "Fresh FM" branding.
On August 3, 2018, CKNG once again returned to adult hits, branded as 92.5 The 'Chuck. Corus FM radio director Brad Phillips described the new format as being "super-localized" with nods to local culture and humour; its branding is derived from a nickname for the city. After having aired the syndicated Brooke & Jeffrey out of Seattle, and later Willy in the Morning from Vancouver sister station CFMI-FM, afternoon host Graham Mosimann began hosting The Morning Thing in August 2024.
