History
The station was launched in 1957 by Lakeland Broadcasting as CKLB-FM 93.5, a sister station to AM outlet CKLB. The station aired an easy listening format. In 1966, the station changed its callsign to CKQS-FM, and moved to its current frequency later the same year.
In 1979, CKLB and CKQS were acquired by Grant Broadcasting, and CKQS changed callsigns again, this time to CKQT-FM. Grant Broadcasting was subsequently acquired by Power Broadcasting in 1990.
In 1993, the station moved to an adult contemporary format, adopting its current callsign and branding itself The Edge. In 1995, the station was rebranded Magic 94.9.
In 1999, the station began to more actively target audiences in Toronto, with a modern adult contemporary format incorporating into some more typically adult album alternative musical selections.
In late 2000, Power Broadcasting was acquired by Corus Entertainment
