CKSO
When the station began broadcasting in 1935, CKSO's original frequency was at 780 kHz, until it moved to 790 kHz in 1941. For much of its history, the station was an affiliate of the CBC's Trans-Canada Network.
In 1976, 790 CKSO received approval to increase their power from 10,000 watts day and 5,000 watts night to 50,000 watts, full-time. Since the power increase, the station's AM signal has been heard as far away as Europe and some areas of the United States during the nighttime hours.
CKSO and sister station CIGM were owned by Cambrian Broadcasting, who sold them to United Broadcasting in 1979. Cambrian was in a financial crisis due to the near-bankruptcy of its television station in the city, CICI, but the sale failed to resolve the crisis.
