To service former Winnipeg Jets fans who wanted to follow the team after its relocation in 1996, it also aired Phoenix Coyotes hockey.

In 1994, Rogers applied to the CRTC for permission to switch CKY to broadcast on FM, due to the declining number of people listening to AM stations and the anticipated lower revenues.

However, due to the success of CKY's "Don Percy and Friends" morning show, which featured numerous "info chats" from businesses, the existing AM station managed to make a considerable profit.

The station moved in a more rhythmic direction (like sister CHFM-FM Calgary), but was still reporting as an adult contemporary outlet per Mediabase and Nielsen BDS.

On February 13, 2015, the station stepped up the tempo and became a Hot AC outlet, re-branded as 102.3 KiSS FM, without any change in personnel.

In morning drive time, CKY-FM began carrying the Roz and Mocha Show from CKIS-FM in Toronto, which also airs on other Rogers-owned "KiSS" stations across Canada.
