CKCW-FM is an Canadian radio station broadcasting at a frequency of 94.5 MHz in Moncton, New Brunswick. The station plays a Contemporary hit radio format and is owned by Maritime Broadcasting System.
CKCW originally began broadcasting on December 4, 1934 at 1370 kHz with 100 watts of power. The station was owned by Moncton Broadcasting Ltd. The frequency changed to 1400 kHz in 1941, and to 1220 kHz in 1946. Eastern Radio Broadcasting, the forerunner of MBS, purchased CKCW in 1972. CKCW was the only privately owned AM radio station ever to operate in Moncton. In 1976, a companion FM station, CFQM-FM, went on the air.
A co-owned television station, CKCW-TV, signed on in 1954 but was sold to CHUM Limited in 1969. It is now part of the CTV Atlantic (formerly ATV) network.
During the 1990s, CKCW had a light rock format, then in 1994 switched to a Golden Oldies format, and then switched to country music in a format switch with CFQM in 1997. In 2000, CKCW moved to the FM band and changed to a Contemporary Hit format as "Moncton's Newest Music K94.5". Canada Day weekend of 2005, the station switched to what they are known as today with "Today's Best Music K945" playing a Hot Adult Contemporary format.
