History

On November 10, 2011, the CRTC approved an application by Haliburton Broadcasting Group for a new FM radio station serving Prescott, Ontario, proposing a hot adult contemporary format with local news and information.[1] Prior to the station's launch, Haliburton Broadcasting Group was acquired by Vista Radio.[2][3] The transaction was approved by the CRTC on October 19, 2012.

On October 20, 2015, CKPP launched as 107.9 Coast FM.[4] In May 2026, after having since rebranded as classic hits Moose FM, the station rebranded again as 107.9 Icon Radio.[5][6]
