The station plays an adult contemporary format branded as K94.5 and is owned by the Maritime Broadcasting System.

Over the years, many radio personalities who worked at CKCW would attain such bigger success in larger markets such as Brother Jake, Bob Powers, Marty Kingston and Larry Hennessey.

A co-owned television station, CKCW-TV, signed on the air in 1954 but was sold to CHUM Limited in 1972.

In 2001, CKCW moved to 94.5 FM,[1] and changed to a Top 40/CHR format, branded as "Moncton's Newest Music", K94.5.

CKCW was the first station to hire international syndicated radio star AJ Reynolds.
