Media in Kingston, Ontario

Media in Kingston, Ontario includes local outlets and also radio and TV signals from New York, especially the Watertown market. For example, WLYK in Cape Vincent, NY markets itself as a Kingston station and operates studios here under a local management agreement, even though it is licensed to an American community. Queen’s University campus radio, CFRC, founded in 1922, is one of the oldest radio stations in the world. CFRC was a commercial outlet until CKWS-AM (now CKWS-FM) started in 1942. Kingston’s two historic AM stations, CKWS on 960 kHz and CKLC on 1380 kHz, ended those frequencies after moving to FM in the late 2000s. Most of Kingston receives only a weak over-the-air TV signal from CIII-TV-2. The main local cable provider is Cogeco.
