History

On December 18, 2002, Raedio Inc. received CRTC approval to operate a new FM radio station in Stratford Ontario.

On September 2, 2003, CHGK began broadcasting as MIX 107.7 FM originally with an adult contemporary music format and with the slogan "The perfect mix without the hard edge". and was owned by Raedio Inc. CHGK has a sister station, CJCS, that has been broadcasting since 1928.

In September 2010, Raedio Inc. announced a deal, to sell the station to Haliburton Broadcasting Group which was approved by the CRTC on February 21, 2011.

In spring 2011, Haliburton Broadcasting Group rebranded the station as "FM 107.7, Stratford's Lite Favorites" retaining the adult contemporary format.

On April 23, 2012 Vista Broadcast Group, which owns a number of radio stations in western Canada, announced a deal to acquire Haliburton Broadcasting Group, in cooperation with Westerkirk Capital. The transaction was approved by the CRTC on October 19, 2012.
