CKAP-FM is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts at 100.9 FM in Kapuskasing, Ontario. The station airs an adult contemporary format branded as 100.9 Moose FM. CKAP also has a rebroadcaster in Hearst, CKHT-FM, at 94.5 FM.
The station was launched in 1965 by Kapuskasing Broadcasting, airing at 580 AM. It was acquired by Mid-Canada Communications in 1987, becoming part of the Mid-Canada Radio network. In 1990, Mid-Canada Radio was acquired by the Pelmorex Radio Network.
In 1999, the Pelmorex stations were sold to Haliburton Broadcasting Group. Haliburton converted CKAP to the FM band in 2001. [1] Initially branded as Mix 100, the station adopted the Moose FM brand the following year.
In 2003, CKAP was authorized to add a rebroadcaster in Hearst to operate at 94.5 FM, as CKHT. [2]
On July 30, 2010, Haliburton Broadcasting received CRTC approval to make a number of technical changes for CKHT-FM Hearst. [3]
On April 23, 2012 Vista Broadcast Group, which owns a number of radio stations in western Canada, announced a deal to acquire Haliburton Broadcasting Group, in cooperation with Westerkirk Capital. [4] The transaction was approved by the CRTC on October 19, 2012. [5]
