CKGL (AM)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
CKGL is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts at 570 AM in Kitchener, Ontario. The station airs a news format with the brand name 570 News.
The station was originally launched in 1949 as FM 96.7 CKCR-FM, simulcasting the programming of CKCR.
In 1965, the stations were acquired by Great Lakes Broadcasting, a consortium that included Maclean-Hunter. Both stations changed their callsigns to CHYM that year. Distinct programming was launched on CHYM-FM for the first time in 1968. In 1972, the FM outlet's callsign was changed again, to the current CKGL.
In 1982, Maclean-Hunter took over full ownership of the stations.
CHYM and CKGL swapped frequencies in 1992, with CKGL moving to the AM band. The stations became part of Rogers Communications in 1994 when that company acquired Maclean-Hunter.
When CHYM and CKGL swapped frequencies, the CKGL Country music format was moved to AM with CKGL. In 1997, this successful format was changed to news talk radio.
In late 2005, CKGL adopted the popular all-news format for the morning and afternoon drive time slots.
CKGL's current schedule includes The 570 Morning News from 5-9 AM, the Jeff Allan Show from 9-12, followed by the Gary Doyle Show from 12-3, and the 570 Afternoon News from 3-7.
Evening programs include ESPN Radio, and, live play by play, such as Toronto Blue Jays baseball and Kitchener Rangers OHL hockey.
In 2007, 570 News won the RTNDA Edward R. Murrow Award for "Best Newscast". The winning newscast aired Friday October 6, 2006 at 7 AM and highlighted RIM co-CEO Jim Balsillie's intent to buy the Pittsburgh Penguins. 570 News had a reporter live in Pittsburgh when Jim Balsillie made the announcement.
