CKUL-FM (96.5 FM, 96.5 The Breeze) is a radio station serving Halifax, Nova Scotia.
In 2007, both companies received approval to convert their remaining AM stations in the market, CFDR and CJCH respectively, to the FM band, which would give each company two wholly owned FM stations in the Halifax market, the maximum permitted under current CRTC regulations.
[3][4] In January 2016, former CKHZ-FM program director Dan Barton joined CKUL; a month later, on February 25 at 3PM, the station shifted to hot adult contemporary as Mix 96.5.
The last song as "Radio" was "Electric Love" by Borns; the first as "Mix" was "Adventure of a Lifetime" by Coldplay.
[7] Later that day, competitor CKHY-FM preemptively switched to soft AC itself as Jewel 105;[8] the flip would be undone in 2021 after the station's sale to new owners.
