CKOA is a former radio station in Arnprior, Ontario that broadcast at AM 1490 kHz.
On February 14, 1985, Opeongo Broadcasting Co. Ltd. received approval for a new AM station at Arnprior.
[2] CKOA had several staff including a sales department and production duties and local programming was handled by Station Manager Peter DeWolf.
The station was sold in the late 1980s to Annapolis Valley Radio and later to Pelmorex Broadcasting, becoming a full-time repeater and ceasing local programming.
In 1996, CHVR and the former CKOA and CKOB were combined into a new FM radio station at 96.7 MHz as CHVR-FM out of Pembroke to serve the Ottawa Valley.
