CKSQ-FM is a Canadian radio station that broadcasts a country music format at 93.3 FM in Stettler, Alberta. The station is branded on-air as Real Country 93.3 and is currently owned by Newcap Radio.

History

The station began broadcasting in 1976 as CHOA. The callsign was changed to its current one as CKSQ in the early 1980s. In 1985, CKSQ received approval by the CRTC to move from 1400 to 880 kHz, however, this was lost out to CHQT Edmonton in a bid to use the 880 kHz frequency.^[1]

Switch to FM

On September 19, 2011, Newcap Inc. applied to convert CKSQ from the AM dial at 1400 kHz to the FM dial.^[2] The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission approved Newcap's application on February 22, 2012 and the new station will operate at 93.3 MHz.^[3]

In 2012, CKSQ moved from 1400 kHz AM to 93.3 MHz FM and began testing in September. The official launch on FM was set for October 15, 2012. Formerly branded as Q14 Country, the station is now known as Q93.3 ^[4]

On November 7, 2016, CKSQ-FM rebranded to "Real Country 93.3" as part of a national relaunch of all Newcap country radio stations on FM in Alberta to the Real Country Network branding.
