C-FOX Ninety Nine 1979 Mug

C-FOX began broadcasting on October 15, 1964 on 99.3 MHz with 100,000 watts, under the call sign CKLG. Transmissions originally came from the south slope of Fromme Mountain in North Vancouver. CKLG initially began with an easy listening format, but in the fall of 1967, it started experimenting with rock music at night. CKLG-FM soon shifted to become Canada's first full-time FM rock station on March 16, 1968. By 1973, CKLG-FM had compiled a library of over 3,000 albums, and all its programming was aired live except on Sunday mornings and in 1976 the station made the transition to a progressive rock format. At noon on January 6, 1979, CKLG changed to C-FOX, a call sign first used by a defunct AM station in Montreal.
