CIGM is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts in Sudbury, Ontario. The station broadcasts country music, news and sports, at 790 on the AM dial.
The station first aired at FM 92.7 in 1965, with the call letters CKSO-FM. It adopted the CIGM calls in 1977. CIGM and sister station CKSO-AM were owned by Cambrian Broadcasting, who sold them to United Broadcasting in 1979. Cambrian was in a financial crisis due to the near-bankruptcy of its television station in the city, CICI, but the sale failed to resolve the crisis.
In 1986, United sold CKSO and CIGM to Telemedia.
In 1990, CKSO and CIGM swapped frequencies. CIGM moved to CKSO's 790 slot on the AM dial, and CKSO took on the new call letters CJRQ and CIGM's 92.7 FM frequency. After the 1990 swap, the CKSO call sign no longer existed in the Sudbury area until a Christian music station began test transmissions in late 2002. The current CKSO has no ownership affiliation with CIGM, the Christian station CKSO-FM has been silent since 2006.
In 2002, Telemedia was purchased by Standard Broadcasting. Shortly afterward, Standard sold CJRQ, CIGM and CJMX to Rogers Communications.
In fall 2005, CIGM and sister station CKAT in North Bay underwent a format change, with country music cut back (although not entirely eliminated) in favour of increased news and sports programming.
In 2007, Larche Communications was given CRTC approval to launch an FM country station in Sudbury. The station, CICS, has not yet launched, and to date Rogers has not announced whether the new competition for country listeners will lead to further changes in CIGM's format.
