On November 18, 2019, CKPC-FM launchedHD Radio multi-casting services. The HD1 sub-channel carries the same programming as the standard analog frequency. As of September 4, 2020, the HD2 sub-channel carries a simulcast of sister stationCFWC-FM, the HD3 sub-channel carried a simulcast ofCKPC (AM) until the station was closed in August 2023.
CKPC first went on the air in 1923 in the town of Preston when Mr. Wallace Russ and two of his radio "ham" friends, Tom Mead of and Charles Bonner of Galt were experimenting with a low-powered radio transmitter. Suddenly the phone rang. It was a neighbour reporting that he could hear the three men talking through his radio receiver. The experimenters were unaware that their voices were being transmitted on the broadcast band, and so CKPC hit the airwaves for the first time, in an unscheduled entrance.
