CKSO-FM
CKSO is the former call sign of two radio stations and a television station in
Greater Sudbury, Ontario,
Canada, as well as the current call sign of a radio station in the city which has no affiliation with any of the older stations.
The current CKSO is a
Christian music station, which broadcasts at 101.1 on the
FM dial.
The CKSO call letters were chosen because of their historic significance in the Sudbury area. The following stations in Sudbury previously used the CKSO call letters:
*
CJRQ was CKSO-AM from
1935 to
1990,
*
CIGM was CKSO-FM from
1965 to
1977,
*
CICI was CKSO-TV, Canada's first privately owned television station, from
1953 to
1971.
Each of those stations' histories with the call letters is discussed in more depth on their pages. After 1990, the CKSO call letters did not exist in the Sudbury market until the current CKSO debuted in
2003.
A road in the southernmost portion of Sudbury is named
CKSO Road, because the original CKSO's transmitters were located there.
