History[]
The station has been on the air since December 23, 1953. Originally broadcasting at 1230 AM, before moving to 1320 in 1960.
In 2006, the station was licensed by the CRTC to convert to the FM dial.[1] As of December 11, 2007, CKEC moved to 94.1 FM. Simulcasting remained on both AM and FM for 90 days, before converting entirely to FM.
On October 28, 2011, Hector Broadcasting applied to the CRTC for a new radio station which will broadcast a mix of classic rock and classic hits with some contemporary rock. If approved, the new station will operate at 97.9 MHz.[2] Hector Broadcasting received a licence to operate a new station, CKEZ-FM, on May 9, 2012.
In November 2017, it was announced that pending approval by the CRTC, this station and its sister CKEZ were to be purchased by Newcap Radio.[3] On January 15, 2021, at 12:01 a.m., CKEC shifted to soft adult contemporary as rebranded as "94.1 The Breeze."
