History
The station's license was approved by the CRTC in July 2009,[2][3] and officially launched on September 6, 2010 as 95.7 The Sound, with an adult album alternative format. On March 25, 2011, at Noon, the station relaunched as Lite 95.7, soft launching with a weekend of Christmas music (promoting the station's intent to air all-Christmas music during future holiday seasons) before officially beginning an adult contemporary format the following Monday.[4]
On December 27, 2013 at Noon, the station relaunched as 95.7 Cruz FM, with a format focusing on rock hits from the 1980s and later. The station's branding and format is modelled upon sister station CFWD-FM in Saskatoon, which adopted it the previous year.[5]
On August 26, 2025, Harvard announced that the former CFRN morning sports radio show The Nielson Show would air on CKEA beginning September 3.[6]
