Durham Radio has closed on its acquisition of “Country 92.9” CKJN-FM Haldimand/Hamilton ON from Vista Radio and has flipped the station to Classic Hits “92.9 The Grand” CHTG-FM.
The format change takes the station out of direct format competition with new sister “KX 94.7” CHKX while returning Classic Hits to the market for the first time since Bell Media’s 1150 CKOC flipped to Sports last September. Much of the airstaff used to work at CKOC. Former middayer Peter Jaycock will host mornings, former PD/morning host Ted Yates is in middays, and Rock ‘N’ Ray Michaels in afternoons.
