History

The station was launched on November 25th 2004 at 80 Hunter St. East by King’s Kids Promotions Outreach Ministries. After some time on air the station is now located at the Kingswood Life Center at 993 Talwood Drive.

In March 2007, CKKK-FM applied to move from 99.5 FM to 90.5 FM. CKPT-AM was approved recently to move to 99.3 FM which is the adjacent frequency of 99.5 FM. On July 9, 2007 CKKK was given approval by the CRTC to move to 90.5 FM. [http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisions/2007/db2007-224.htm]

On August 20, 2007, CKKK at 99.5 FM moved down the dial to 90.5 FM just over a month after the approval from the CRTC.

On March 31 2008, Kaos Radio 90.5 FM went dark after being blocked from its new tower site at 1001 Talwood Drive. This despite the fact that the project was approved by the CRTC and Industry Canada in August 2007.

While the station and owners of 1001 Talwood Drive have be able to make some progress towards an agreement the station remains off air.
