CKGL (AM)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CKGL is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts at 570 AM in Kitchener, Ontario. The station airs a news format with the brand name 570 News.
The station was originally launched in 1949 as FM 96.7 CKCR-FM, simulcasting the programming of CKCR.
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. Distinct programming was launched on CHYM-FM for the first time in 1968. In 1972, the FM outlet's callsign was changed again, to the current CKGL.
In 1982, Maclean-Hunter took over full ownership of the stations.
CHYM and CKGL swapped frequencies in 1992, with CKGL moving to the AM band. The stations became part of Rogers Communications in 1994 when that company acquired Maclean-Hunter.
