tation history

CKHZ occupies the 103.5 FM frequency that was once Halifax's home to CKO from 1985 to 1989, the year CKO ceased broadcasting. In 2003 the CRTC awarded the vacant frequency license to Evanov. After several days of fine tuning it began on-air testing on June 28, 2006. The official on air date of the new station was August 14, 2006.

When CKHZ signed on the air, it sported the moniker and handle Z103.5, The Beat of Halifax and patterned its format after sister station CIDC in Toronto, Ontario with an emphasis on local content. Like its sister station, the moniker is pronounced "zee-one-oh-three-dot-five". The station targets the format towards youths and young adults 18-34 with a tertiary demographic in the 12-49 range. Even though the music heavily favors Rhythmic and Dance product, it does play certain Pop/Rock tracks.
