It shares studio space with sister stations CFMC-FM and CJDJ-FM at 715 Saskatchewan Crescent West, also the home of Rawlco Radio's Corporate Offices.

CKOM began broadcasting on 1340 kHz on June 8, 1951 with an output of 250 watts and its offices were based out of the historic Empire Hotel.

After moving to its 650 AM frequency, the station rebranded as a "Hot Hits" format that was also used in Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and San Francisco.

Most of CKOM's weekday lineup is shared with its Regina sister station CJME, including The Evan Bray Show,[3] Saskatchewan Afternoon with Justin Blackwell, and sports talk show The Green Zone on afternoon drive.

A local morning show is hosted by Mark Loshack, Gerald Bauman, Erin McNutt, and Kevin Martel.
