History

The station was launched by CanWest Global on January 31, 2004. The original studios were at 235 King Street East, Suite 120, Kitchener. The station originally aired a Rhythmic Top 40 format, until switching to its current format in 2007.
In September 2006, Corus Entertainment, already owner of CJDV-FM in nearby Cambridge, announced it would buy CKBT and Winnipeg's CJZZ-FM from CanWest, subject to Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission approval. The transaction was approved by the CRTC on July 6, 2007, and as of July 29, 2007, CKBT was officially made part of Corus Entertainment's radio properties.
On August 14, 2009, CKBT moved into broadcast facility with sister station CJDV-FM at 50 Sportsworld Crossing Road, Kitchener. The stations later relocated to Speedvale Drive in Guelph.
