Extremely low-power station, you'd have to be within 2 blocks of the transmitter to pick it up at night.

Apparently former Fan 590 and TSN 1050 failed comic Mike Richards is taking his show to their morning slot in two weeks. Has anyone told him they don't have much of a signal?

Imagine the advertising. Hey fellas, start each morning with CKNT and we'll put a smile on your face.

Wow, a new radio station. AM too!

I wonder if the new owners know it’s 2018 and that radio had its last days in the early 80’s?

On November 22, 2011, Elliot Kerr, on behalf of a corporation to be incorporated received an approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to operate a new English language news/talk AM radio station at Mississauga.[1] The new station would provide local news and information, weather, sports, traffic, including coverage of city council, local business issues, and community related political and social events.

A launch date was yet to be announced. The station was to sign on the air by November 22, 2013.

On September 11, 2014, the CRTC approved Elliot Kerr's application to decrease the daytime transmitter power from 2,000 to 700 watts, by decreasing the night-time transmitter power from 180 to 104 watts, and by relocating the transmitter.[2]

On August 21, 2018, the CRTC renewed CKNT's yet to be launched radio station from September 1, 2018 to August 31, 2023. [3]

On September 4, 2018, after nearly seven years after getting approval by the CRTC to operate an English-language commercial AM radio station at Mississauga, the station plans to officially sign on the air at 960 kHz on the AM band
