CJCH is a Canadian radio station owned by CTVglobemedia. It broadcasts on the AM band at 920 kHz from Halifax, Nova Scotia. Known as "AM 92/CJCH All Oldies - All The Time", it broadcasts with an oldies music format, with the exceptions of a daily phone-in show, The Hotline with Rick Howe and Halifax Mooseheads hockey.
The station was established in 1944 by the Halifax Chronicle, and acquired in 1970 by CHUM Limited. It was co-owned with the city's CJCH-TV until 1997, when CHUM sold the television station to CTV. The approval by the CRTC of the acquisition of CHUM by CTVglobemedia has again brought the stations under common ownership as of June 22, 2007.
In 1995, CJCH, known as a music station and once a popular Top 40 station, switched to a news/talk format and became known as "News/Talk Radio 920/CJCH". In 2001, CHUM started a sports radio network known as "The Team". CJCH joined this network and became "The Team 920". In August 2002, The Team network was shut down and CJCH flipped to an oldies format, becoming "AM 920/CJCH--Yesterday's Favorites".
In July 2006, rival station 960 CHNS, an oldies station, switched from AM to FM and adopted a classic rock format. CJCH became the sole oldies station in Halifax.
On August 31, 2007, CTVglobemedia applied to the CRTC to move CJCH from AM 920 to FM 101.3. The station will continue its oldies format on the new FM station. CJCH was given approval on November 30, 2007 to move from AM 920 to FM 101.3. [1]
CIOO (C100 FM) is its sister station.
