History.
The station received CRTC approval on October 7, 2009 and officially launched on October 1, 2010 as "Live 105", under the ownership of Evanov Radio Group. The station had been airing a modern rock format since its inception. In 2016, the station shifted to active rock and adopted a new slogan "Halifax's Best Rock" but kept the "Live 105" branding. On August 10, 2018, the station rebranded to "Rock 105.1, Halifax's Rock Station" and began to include more classic rock and hard rock music to its playlist eventually moving towards a mainstream rock format to more effectively compete with Stingray's heritage rock radio station CFRQ-FM, "Q104".
On January 15, 2019, at 7:00 p.m., CKHY abruptly flipped to soft adult contemporary and rebranded to "Jewel 105", launching with the adult standards/smooth jazz show "The Lounge" (an evening program on all of Evanov's Jewel-branded stations), and adding John Tesh's syndicated program in middays. The move preempted an announced switch to the same format by another rival station, CKUL-FM, which launched two days later on January 17.
In July 2020, Evanov announced the planned sale of its Halifax stations to Acadia Broadcasting. The sale received CRTC approval on April 26, 2021.
