CIWW is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 1310 AM in Ottawa, Ontario. The station airs an oldies format branded as Oldies 1310, playing songs from the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
The station was launched in 1922 by Dr. George Geldert, with the call sign CKCO. After changing frequencies a number of times (as most early AM radio stations in North America did), the station permanently adopted its current 1310 frequency in 1941. In 1945, CKCO became Ottawa's affiliate of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Dominion Network.
In 1949, the station was purchased by Southam, and changed its callsign to CKOY. The CKCO call letters are in no way related to CKCO-TV in Kitchener, Ontario, which signed on five years later.
In 1972, FM sister station CKBY-FM was launched. In 1978, after two failed attempts to sell the stations to Moffat Communications, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approved their sale to Maclean-Hunter. The station adopted its current call sign (CIWW) in 1985, and in 1994 the stations became part of Rogers Communications when it acquired Maclean-Hunter.
The station's headquarters are based in Thurston Drive, Ottawa. The station calls itself "Ottawa's Oldies Authority" and has built up a fanbase through DJ's such as breakfast host "Brother Bob", and Al Baldwin. Its schedule also features commentary from live sports games, and at weekends includes specialised phone-ins such "Call the Experts" with topics from DIY to How to Improve your golfing technique. During the evening, its transmission range is decreased.
