CKOM began broadcasting at 1340 kHz on June 8, 1951 with an output of 250 watts. By 1960, it has increased its strength to 10,000 watts and was broadcasting full time at a frequency of 1250 kHz.

In 1985, the channel was sold to Rawlco Communications and changed frequencies to 650 kHz. The station was programmed in a Hot Hits/Top 40 format.

In 1998, the station switched to a news/talk format and for a brief period of time changed its callsign to CINT before returning to the original callsign CKOM.

CKOM is part of a two station network along with CJME in Regina and often simulcasts a majority of their network programming.

In September 2006, the station changed its on-air brand to become 'News Talk 650'.
