CITI-FM is a
Canadian radio station, which broadcasts
classic rock at 92.1
MHz on the
FM dial in
Winnipeg,
Manitoba. It is owned by
Rogers Radio, and shares studios with sister station
CKY-FM.
Formerly the world's most powerful FM station (currently it is
Montreal's
French-language hot AC CKOI-FM, which has always had higher power than CITI-FM). In 2003 CITI was granted a decrease in
effective radiated power from 210,000 to 100,000 watts, and the relocated its transmitter 20 kilometres north of its former site.
The station was founded in 1962 as
CKY-FM, and adopted its current callsign in 1978. In the early 1990s, the station was acquired by
Rogers Radio, who converted CITI's sister station
CKY-AM to the FM band in 2004, and retained the CKY callsign on that station.
The very first song played on the new CITI-FM in 1978 was
Deep Purple's
Highway Star.
Currently the morning show is hosted by Tom McGouran and Joe Aiello every weekday morning from 6am-10am CT. Kathy Kennedy, or KK as she's commonly known, also co-hosts the show. Frequently, they have "Tom and Joe's World Tour", a
radio station giveaway, sending winners all over the world to
sporting or
music events. Some trips include
Cream reunited in
New York, the
Soccer World Cup in
Germany, and the
Winter Olympics in
Torino, Italy.
