History

CFHK was originally CHLO, an AM station broadcasting on 680 kHz and with studios in St. Thomas, Ontario. Rogers Radio Broadcasting Limited wanted to establish broadcasting on the frequency 680 kHz in Toronto, which at that time was occupied by CHLO. An "agreement" was reached whereby CHLO relocated to 1570 kHz in the 1970s. CHLO had a Top 40 music format during the 1960s into the 70s, and was a Music of Your Life station in the mid-1980s. After a number of years as a country station, CHLO moved to the FM band in 1994, changing its calls to CFHK-FM. CFHK, known on-air as "The Hawk", had a modern rock format, which later evolved into classic rock. The station continued to operate out of St. Thomas until the late 1990s.
