'''CKNX-FM''' is a Canadian [[radio station]], which broadcasts at 101.7 [[FM broadcasting|FM]] in [[Wingham, Ontario|Wingham]], [[Ontario]]. The station broadcasts a [[hot adult contemporary]] format as ''101.7 The One''. The station was formerly known as ''FM102'' before summer 2006.

==History==
The station was launched on April 17, 1977 by [[Blackburn Radio]], the owner of the city's existing [[CKNX (AM)|CKNX 920 AM]] and former owner of [[CKNX-TV]], which is now owned by [[Bell Media]]. Blackburn subsequently launched another FM station in Wingham, [[CIBU-FM]], in 2005.

In 1987, CKNX Broadcasting Limited (CKNX Broadcasting) was denied a license to establish rebroadcasters of CKNX-FM Wingham at Owen Sound (50 watts on 103.7&nbsp;MHz) and Meaford (80 watts on 105.5&nbsp;MHz).<ref>[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/1987/DB87-859.HTM Decision CRTC 87-859]</ref>

On August 29, 1989, the CRTC approved CKNX Broadcasting Limited application to establish a low-power rebroadcast FM transmitter in [[Centreville, Grey County, Ontario|Centreville]], on 104.9&nbsp;MHz to serve Centreville and [[Meaford, Ontario|Meaford]] with 5 watts.<ref>[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/1989/DB89-611.HTM Decision CRTC 89-611 CRTC Decision 89-611]</ref> The callsign for the FM repeater would become '''CKNX-FM-2'''. On August 28, 2008, Blackburn Radio applied to the CRTC to change the Centreville/Meaford frequency from 104.9 to 102.7&nbsp;MHz and to increase power from 5 to 250 watts which was denied on December 2 later that same year.<ref>[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2008/db2008-338.htm Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2008-338]</ref>

In 2016, Blackburn submitted an application to the CRTC to delete CKNX-FM's repeater CKNX-FM-2.<ref>[https://services.crtc.gc.ca/pub/DocWebBroker/OpenDocument.aspx?AppNo=2016-1195-5 2016-1195-5], Deletion of CKNX-FM-2 Centreville, DM#2749040 - APP - Application - administrative proceedings - PDF.pdf, ''CRTC'', November 18, 2016</ref><ref>https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1305882406117772&substory_index=0&id=191081700931187 {{User-generated source|certain=yes|date=March 2022}}</ref>
