CKHK-FM (107.7 MHz) is a Canadian radio station licensed to Hawkesbury, Ontario. Owned by Evanov Communications, it broadcasts a country format branded as Hot Country 107.7.

History

On June 27, 2007, Ottawa Media Inc. was licensed by the CRTC to operate a new FM station at Hawkesbury.^[1]

On April 14, 2008 at 9:00 AM, the station was launched as 107.7 The Jewel, with a soft adult contemporary format.

In May 2021, the station flipped to country as Hot Country 107.7, as part of a realignment of several Evanov stations.^[2]

On September 5, 2024, Evanov announced that the station, along with CJWL-FM in Ottawa and CHRC-FM in Rockland, would close effective September 20, 2024, due to increased competition, changing listener habits, and economic conditions brought upon by the COVID-19 pandemic.^[3] However, on September 19, Evanov announced that it had reached agreements to sell all three stations instead, with an agreement to sell CKHK and CHRC to Radio communautaire Cornwall-Alexandria—the cooperative that owns CHOD-FM 92.1 Go FM in Cornwall—pending CRTC approval. While CHOD is a francophone station, it was stated that the new owner would continue operating both stations with English-language programming.^[4]
