CKBY-FM

CKBY-FM (101.1 MHz, Country 101.1) is a commercial radio station licensed to Smiths Falls, Ontario, and serving the National Capital Region including Ottawa.

On October 26, 2023, the CityNews branding and simulcast was terminated, CIWW went silent, and 101.1 reverted to its former call letters and Country format, which had been at 92.3 FM.

In 1993, CHEZ acquired rights to the callsign and format of CFMO-FM, an easy listening station in Ottawa which CHUM Limited had converted to hot adult contemporary CKKL-FM.

In middays, two local talk shows air: Rob Snow in late mornings and Sam Laprade in early afternoons.

Overnights featured the national all-news service shared with CFTR Toronto, CFFR Calgary and CKWX Vancouver.

[11] On weekends, all-news blocks were heard in the morning and overnight, with talk shows in the afternoon and CBS Sports Radio in the evening.
