CHYM-FM


CHYM-FM is a Canadian radio station broadcasting at 96.7 FM in Kitchener, Ontario. The station currently airs an adult contemporary format using its on-air brand name as CHYM 96.7 and is owned by Rogers Media.
CHYM-FM can be received in far eastern parts of the Thumb region of Michigan. However, it often interferes with CHYR-FM in Leamington.
CHYM-FM's studios are at The Boardwalk, while its transmitter is on Baden Hill also known as the Baden Tower, just west of the Kitchener city limits.

History

The station was originally launched in 1929 as AM 645 CKCR. The station's frequency moved to 1510 in 1934. In 1949, FM sister station CKCR-FM was launched.
In 1965, the stations were acquired by Great Lakes Broadcasting, a consortium that included Maclean-Hunter. Both stations changed their callsigns to CHYM that year. In 1972, the FM outlet's callsign was changed again, to CKGL.
In 1982, Maclean-Hunter took over full ownership of the stations.
The CHYM and CKGL intellectual units swapped frequencies in 1992, with CHYM moving to the FM band. The stations became part of Rogers in 1994 when that company acquired Maclean-Hunter.
In the summer 2016, Rogers relocated the studios of CHYM, CIKZ and CKGL to "The Boardwalk" near Ira Needles Boulevard and University Avenue. Prior to the move, their old studios were located at 350 King Street West in Downtown Kitchener.
