CKSY-FM is a radio station located in Chatham-Kent, Ontario. Owned by Blackburn Radio, the station broadcasts an adult contemporary format on 94.3 FM. CKSY is co-owned with adult-hits station CKUE-FM and country-formatted CFCO-AM/FM.
CKSY first broadcast on July 1, 1986, and was originally carried 95.1 FM (which had previously been the frequency used by CBEE-FM, a rebroadcaster of CBC Radio One station CBE-AM in Windsor, now at 88.1 FM). CKSY originally aired an easy listening music format branded as "Cosy," which evolved into a brighter, more contemporary AC format by the mid-1990s.
On May 4, 2002, CKSY switched frequencies with sister station CKUE to obtain its current frequency of 94.3 FM. In 2005, CKSY and CKUE were acquired by Blackburn Radio.
By 2010, the station had shifted towards a more hot AC orientation with less "traditional" AC music (i.e. soft rock) and a larger amount of current and recent hits. In 2014, sister station CKUE-FM would ultimately drop active rock for a soft AC format, and has since shifted to an adult hits format as "Cool FM."
