History of Boom 101.9
The station began its official transmission in 1945 as CKSF. Initially, the city’s daily newspaper, the Cornwall Standard-Freeholder, managed the channel at 1230 kHz with 250 watts. In 1958, it flipped to 1220 kHz with 1000 watts using a directional antenna. It also established CKSF FM at 104.5 in 1957. Stanley Shankman purchased both stations after two years. The stations became CJSS-AM-FM to match the TV station. In 1978, Tri-Co Broadcasting Ltd acquired the channel and converted CJSS from an AM station to FM in 1999.
After a flip to FM in 1999, FM was branded as 101.9 FM and aired country format. On August 8, 2003, FM again moved to active rock format and was branded as Rock 101.9 FM. On February 15, 2011, it rebranded as Greatest Hit 101.9 FM and moved to classic hits format. CJSS finally rebranded as Boom 101.9 on August 25, 2014, at 3 PM. The last song on “Greatest Hits” was “Revolution” by The Beatles, and the first song on “Boom” was “Don’t Stop Believin'” by Journey.
