About
Founded in 1980 and later developed into a modern country-focused broadcaster serving the Greater Toronto Area, this station built its identity around fresh hits and evolving listener tastes under the name Hot Country 88.5 (CKDX-FM).
Broadcasting at 88.5 FM from Newmarket, Ontario, it delivers a country format with a strong emphasis on current chart-toppers and new releases. Owned by Evanov Communications, with studios in Etobicoke, the station targets a younger audience that prefers contemporary country over traditional classics. Its key distinction lies in its upbeat, trend-driven playlist, positioning it as a more modern alternative within Canada’s country radio landscape.
