CKIC-FM is an instructional campus radio station that broadcasts in Winnipeg on the frequency 92.9 FM.

The purpose of the station is to provide real-world education in the field of radio broadcasting to students enrolled in the Creative Communications program at Red River College and to deliver programming that is distinct from that offered by other radio stations within the city.

In November 2003, former 92 CITI-FM Winnipeg and 100.3 The Q Victoria personality and programmer Rick Everett Baverstock was hired as the station manager for Kick-FM.

Kick-FM is owned and operated by the not-for-profit corporation, Cre-Comm Radio Inc.

History

The station began broadcasting a test signal on December 15, 2003 and officially launched on April 27, 2004. Initially, the station presented a Triple-A format. At the time, this was the first of its kind in Canada. Kick-FM used the tag line 'A Rock 'n' Soul Adventure' for the first year of its existence.

After determining there was very limited interest in a Triple-A format in Winnipeg, Kick-FM migrated to a unique Modern Rock format. The playlist features songs popular in the UK and at College radio in the U.S. As well, Kick-FM plays more Winnipeg-based musicians than any other station in the city (22% of its play list). The majority of music on Kick-FM's playlist is unique to the station as no other radio stations in the Winnipeg area offers a mix anywhere near that of Kick-FM.

Kick-FM, which specializes in new music, identifies itself as "Winnipeg's New Sound."

In May 2007, 92.9 KICK-FM was named #3 favourite Winnipeg radio station (behind #2 Hot 103 and #1 Power 97) in a poll by readers of Uptown Magazine.

In May 2008, 92.9 KICK-FM was named #2 favourite Winnipeg radio station (behind #1 Hot 103) in a poll by readers of Uptown Magazine.
