Info on CKPT Peterborough

T

Terry C

The legendary Central Ontario station CKPT 1420 Peterborough is now dark, having moved to 99.7 FM and now using the moniker “Energy 99.7”. FYI, CKPT is part of the CHUM Group of stations. I spoke to the chief engineer for CKPT last Saturday afternoon because their new FM signal is now non-existent where my cottage is in Kirkfield, Ontario. He explained that the signal is designed to protect adjacent frequency stations in Huntsville and Haliburton, so the signal is directed north and slightly north-east of Peterborough, ergo my inability to get the station. In any event, concurrent with the switch to FM they’ve also made a major format change that doesn’t particularly suit me, so I’m not really feeling hard done-by.

For a brief, interesting story about the recent CKPT AM tower demolition, you may wish to check out this link:
