TORONTO – Rogers Broadcasting has received CRTC approval to buy radio stations K-Rock and KIX Country in Kingston, Ontario.
Rogers purchased a minority interest in these stations in 2000, and in December made an offer to purchase the majority interest of independent radio company K-Rock 1057 Inc. who launched K-Rock 105.7 FM (CIKR FM) in 2001 and KIX Country 93.5 FM (CKXC FM) in 2007 in partnership with Rogers.
"With these two radio stations, Rogers will have a strong presence in Kingston", said Paul Ski, CEO of radio for Rogers Media, in the press release. "We look forward to serving the Kingston community and building on the legacy of K-Rock."
Rogers now operates 24 radio stations in Ontario including stations in Ottawa and Toronto.
