On December 18, 2002, Raedio Inc. received CRTC approval to operate a new FM radio station in Stratford Ontario.^[1]

On September 2, 2003, CHGK began broadcasting as MIX 107.7 FM originally with an adult contemporary music format and with the slogan "The perfect mix without the hard edge".^[2] and was owned by Raedio Inc. CHGK has a sister station, CJCS, that has been broadcasting since 1928.
