CHGK-FM is a Canadian radio station in Stratford, Ontario with an Contemporary hit radio format at 107.7 FM, branded as 107.7 2day FM.
History
On December 18, 2002, Raedio Inc. received CRTC approval to operate a new FM radio station at Stratford.[1]
On September 2, 2003, CHGK began broadcasting at 107.7 FM as MIX 107.7 FM with the slogan "The perfect mix without the hard edge".[2] 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 tentative deal, to sell the station to Haliburton Broadcasting Group which was approved by the CRTC on February 21, 2011.[3][4][5]
In the spring of 2011, Haliburton 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, in cooperation with Westerkirk Capital.[6] The transaction was approved by the CRTC on October 19, 2012.[7]
On September 3, 2014 the station switched to a Contemporary hit radio format and was renamed 107.7 2day FM.
