History

Initially licensed by the CRTC in 1996, [1] it was the first licensed high school radio station in Canada. The station didn't go on air until the 1997–1998 school year because the station is run by high school students and had to wait until the start of the following year.

The station is run by students who are part of the Radio Broadcasting county-wide focus program which is open to any Grade 11, 12, and returning 12th year students in the Limestone District School Board.

On November 28, 2016, KCVI Educational Radio Station Incorporated (KCVI) applied to operate the station as a regular-powered radio station. [2] The CRTC approved KCVI's application on May 5, 2017. [3]

On April 5, 2022, the CRTC approved KCVI's application to increase CKVI's effective radiated power (ERP) from 7 to 30 watts, and decrease the effective height of the antenna above average terrain (HAAT) from 34.5 to 33 metres. [4]
