Encyclopedia
CKST is a radio station
located in Vancouver
, British Columbia
, currently owned by Bell Media. It broadcasts at 1040 AM
, has an all-sports (sports radio
) format and is branded as the TEAM 1040. It has the broadcasting rights
to the games of the Vancouver Canucks
and Vancouver Canadians
.
as CJJC, broadcasting on its original frequency of 850 AM with 1000 watts of power and offering a country music
format. The station's original owner was City & Country Radio Ltd., headed by former CJAV
and CKNW personality Joe Chesney.
CJJC was given approval by the CRTC on December 15, 1970 to change its frequency and transmission power from 850 AM and 1000 watts to 800 AM and 10,000 watts, but the station waited until June 1975 to put the change into effect. In 1977, CJJC (which had been dealing with financial trouble for some time) rehired 23 of 32 staff members who were given 30 days notice on New Year's Eve. Parent company City & Country Radio was authorized to transfer all of the station's shares to a company run by Joe Chesney and Ernie Mykyte; Mykyte would become sole owner of CJJC in 1978 when he bought out Chesney's half-interest in the station.
CJJC and parent City & Country Radio were purchased on June 26, 1985 (following CRTC approval) by an ownership consortium of Saskatoon Telecable Ltd. (72%), Sam Folstad (18%) and L.M. McDonald (10%); later in the year, CJJC changed its call letters to CJUP and dropped its country format for Top 40 with "Up Radio, AM 800" as its on-air name. In 1987, CJUP majority shareholder Saskatoon Telecable was purchased by Clint Forster and his family, and the station changed call letters again to the present CKST in 1988. On July 7, 1989, CKST increased its power to 25,000 watts and began broadcasting in stereo.
CKST switched formats to modern rock
and adopted the on-air name "Coast 800" on November 9, 1990. The station underwent major changes during the early part of 1992; on January 30, the CRTC authorized station owner Western World Communications (the former Saskatoon Telecable) to buy Vancouver station CIMA 1040
(which had begun operations on September 12, 1986 as CIOF, then CKXY, then CIMA) from Monarch Broadcasting Ltd., also granting permission to CKST to switch frequencies (from 800 to 1040), increase transmission power (from 25,000 watts to 50,000), relocate its transmitter from Aldergrove
to Delta
and move its operations from Langley to Vancouver. CIMA 1040 signed off for the final time on February 4, and CKST moved into CIMA's facilities and became "Coast 1040" on March 9.
Plans were made to move CKST to the FM band (at 94.5 FM with 38,000 watts of power) in 1993, but were denied by the CRTC. CKST ended its modern rock format upon sign-off at midnight on September 30, returning to the air at 5:30 AM with the new on-air name "Q104" (which was later dropped in favor of using the CKST calls) and a new nostalgia
music format. The station was purchased by Ronald Dixon and Gary Mathiesen in 1994.
CKST was in the process of being sold when Dixon was killed in a car accident in Mexico on September 15, 2000; the station would be sold to Grand Slam Radio Inc., which assumed ownership on February 1, 2001, switched CKST to its present all-sports format and adopted its current on-air name "The TEAM 1040" on April 25, and joined CHUM's TEAM all-sports network on May 7. Station founder Joe Chesney died in Langley on November 10, 2001, at the age of 82, and CHUM would purchase CKST on February 10, 2003, adding to the company's ownership of CFUN, CHQM-FM
and CKVU-TV
in Vancouver.
It was a member of CHUM Limited's short-lived "The Team" sports radio network in 2001-2002 and remains loosely affiliated with those stations that retained the sports format. It competed heavily with CHMJ
730 AM ("MOJO Sports Radio"), an all-sports station in Vancouver owned by Corus Entertainment
, until that station dropped its sports format in May 2006.
The station made headlines in 2003 when host John Conners made comments about Vancouver Canucks player Todd Bertuzzi
's wife on the air. Conners was fired by CKST after the Canucks revoked their accreditation of its reporters and pulled their advertising from the station in response to the incident.
In 2004, it acquired the radio broadcast rights for BC Lions
football games, beating longtime broadcaster CKNW
. Veteran play-by-play man J. Paul McConnell stayed with CKNW, while colour analyst Giulio Caravatta
moved to CKST and joined new play-by-play announcer Rick Ball.
In the spring of 2006, in what was seen as a major gain for the station, it acquired the broadcasting rights for the Canucks, which had long been the staple of rival CKNW. The play-by-play team of John Shorthouse
and Tom Larscheid
also moved stations from CKNW to CKST.
CTVglobemedia purchased CKST and its sister radio stations in Vancouver as part of the acquisition of CHUM Limited on June 22, 2007, following its approval by the CRTC, while former co-owned CKVU was sold to Rogers Communications
on October 31, 2007.
Starting in October 2008, the station began splitting Canucks play-by-play duties between John Shorthouse and new announcer's Joey Kenward and Rick Ball. Kenward calls the Canucks broadcasts when the team is on the road, Ball calls the show for the home games. Both new hosts fill in only when Shorthouse does the television play-by-play for Rogers Sportsnet
. After one season of this arrangement, from October 2009 until present, Ball handles all play-by-play duties while Shorthouse is calling games on Sportsnet. Kenward only calls games when Shorthouse is on Sportsnet and Ball is away calling BC Lions CFL football games.
. CFUN, rebranded "Team 1410", would henceforth serve as CTVglobemedia
's secondary sports radio station for the city, primarily featuring ESPN Radio
and other syndicated sports talk shows, BC Lions
football coverage, replays of Vancouver Canucks
games, and coverage of various American or overseas sports events not previously available on Vancouver radio. TEAM 1410 is also the home of the Major League Soccer team Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
CKST continues to air its current locally focused sports format, although the announcement implied that BC Lions
games which were previously aired on that station would henceforth air exclusively on 1410.
CKST broadcasts all games of the Vancouver Canucks
and occasional Vancouver Canadians
games and other local sports events. It carries most Seattle Mariners
games from KIRO
in Seattle, most Seattle Seahawks
games from KIRO
in Seattle, ESPN Radio
's Sunday Night Baseball
, and Westwood One
's Sunday Night Football
and Monday Night Football
. It was the official broadcaster of the BC Lions
until November 2009 when coverage was moved to sister station Team 1410.
It is a Fox Sports Radio
affiliate and former ESPN Radio
and Sporting News Radio
affiliate. It also carries content such as Prime Time Sports
