CKRK-FM is an English-language Canadian radio station located in the Kahnawake Mohawk Territory, a First Nations reserve near Montreal, Quebec. It broadcasts on 103.7 MHz with an effective radiated power of 250 watts (class A1) using an omnidirectional antenna.[ citation needed ] Reception is also possible on the island of Montreal, particularly in the south and southwest sectors of the island.[ citation needed ]
CKRK-FM was originally on 103.5 MHz with only 50 watts; it moved to its current frequency and raised its power in 1996, [1] after another station, CJLM-FM, signed on the same channel in Joliette, causing interference.
The station went on the air on March 30, 1981, and identifies itself as "K1037”. It originally had a country music format; starting in 1995, it moved to an adult contemporary format with significant time devoted to hip-hop programming during weeknights. K1037 still airs country music on the weekend.[ citation needed ]
In the fall of 2008, K1037, in conjunction with and with the assistance of the Kahnawake Fire Brigade, held a 55-hour-long Radiothon to raise funds towards the purchase of a new ladder truck for the Brigade. K1037 was successful in raising over $450,000 Canadian towards the $1.1 million price tag for the vehicle.[ citation needed ]
On April 19, 2010, Montreal radio legend Ted Bird joined the morning show at K1037 after having left CHOM 97-7, his radio home of 25 years. He left CKRK-FM on May 7, 2012 for undisclosed reasons. [2] The following week, Bird returned to the air after signing a two-year contract with CKGM. [3]
The station airs country music on weekends, from 6 a.m. Saturday to noon Sunday.[ citation needed ]
