CKUL-FM is a Halifax, Nova Scotia radio station broadcasting on 96.5 MHz. It first went on the air on August 30, 1990 as 96.5 Sun FM, with the call letters CIEZ. The station was rebranded as Kool 96.5 FM in October 2004, when it adopted its current call letters.

CKUL broadcasts classic hits. The station is currently operated as a joint venture between Newcap Broadcasting and CTVglobemedia. Both companies have recently announced plans to convert their remaining AM stations in the market, CFDR and CJCH respectively, to the FM band. Following the conversions, each company would own the permitted maximum of two FM stations in the Halifax market, meaning CKUL will have to be sold to an as-yet-unknown third party.
