More About Hot Country 103.5 (CKHZ-FM)

In May 2006 the ERP was increased to 100,000 watts with a drop in antenna height. Z103.5 after making a couple of test transmissions in June 2006 got on air on August 14, 2006 from its studios at 5527 Cogswell Street, Halifax. Z103.5 was renamed as Energy 103.5 while catch phrase “The Beat of Halifax” was changed to “Halifax’s newest #1 All Hit Music Station” on January 6, 2012. The audience of the Energy 103.5 playing now pure Adult Contemporary hit music was between the ages of 18 and 34. CRTC renewed the license of the 103.5 FM on March 21, 2013 until August 31 2019. Without Dance-Intensive Rhythmic format the station moved to Top 40; the transition was not impressive and Energy 103.5 had to fail with significantly low ratings as compared to its competitors CJCH and CIOO. Consequently on September 3, 2015 CKHZ became Hot Country 103.5, a full-time Country format music and Talk station. The first song of the newly formatted FM was Florida-Gerogia Line’s “This is How We Roll”. Audiences can have the Hot Country 103.5 FM online with information, talk, contests (Guitars For Vets, George Canyon In The Hot Country Hangout), concerts, events (Rodney Carrington Live), playlists, (recently played) Hot Country Hangout, Pick It Or Kick It, Hot Discovery (Highlighting Canadian Country Talent) and more.
