In 1994, CKER was granted approval by the CRTC[1] to move to the FM band at 101.9 MHz with an ERP of 64,000 watts, on a frequency previously used by CKO from 1978 to 1989.

On January 18, 2006, CKER received approval to move from 101.9 to 101.7 MHz in an effort to alleviate interference that was being caused to other stations.

[4][5] In August 2020, Rogers filed with the CRTC to sell CKER to Akash Broadcasting (owner of CJCN-FM in Surrey, British Columbia).

[6] The sale was approved three months later on December 2, with the station being transferred from Rogers to Akash Broadcasting for $6.7 million.

It has programming in the following languages: Arabic, Cantonese, Filipino, German, Italian, Mandarin, Polish, Punjabi, Spanish and Ukrainian.
