CHUC-FM is a Canadian radio station broadcasting at 107.9 FM in Cobourg, Ontario, Canada. The station airs a classic rock format branded as Classic Rock 107.9 FM.

The station is currently owned by Pineridge Broadcasting.[1] In 2015, My Broadcasting Corporation announced a deal to purchase Pineridge Broadcasting.[1]

History

The station originally began broadcasting in 1957 at 1500 kHz on the AM band. In 1963, CHUC moved from 1500 to 1450 kHz. In 2005, the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission approved an FM conversion for the station,[2] which moved to its current frequency in 2006. CHUC-FM's branding after the move to FM was 107.9 The Breeze with slogan: "The Greatest Classic Hits of All Time."

The AM signal remained in operation, rebroadcasting the FM station's programming, until November 7, 2007.[3] The AM transmitter signed off with the song What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong after airing a special sign off message.

In mid-2015, CHUC-FM dropped its adult contemporary/classic hits format and flipped to classic rock branded as Classic Rock 107.9.
