CHOK (AM)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CHOK is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts at 1070 AM in Sarnia, Ontario. The station broadcasts a country music format with the brand name Country CHOK. The station still offers local newscasts at the top of each hour and a current affairs block from 11 AM - Noon weekdays.
The station was launched in 1946 by Sarnia Broadcasting. It was acquired by IWC Communications, a corporate precursor of Standard Broadcasting, in 1970, and went through a variety of sales to local owners until being acquired by its current owner, Blackburn Radio, in 1998. Blackburn also owns both of the city's other commercial radio stations, CFGX and CHKS.
