CKGB is a Canada radio station, which broadcasts an adult contemporary format at 99.3 FM radio in Timmins, Ontario. The station uses the on-air brand CJEZ (pronounced "Easy Rock", not "E-Zed Rock".) The station is owned by Rogers Communications. The station was launched in late 1933 by young Northern Ontario media entrepreneur Roy Thomson, eventually owner of ''The Times'' of London. Thomson acquired the ''Timmins Daily Press'' the next year, and the newspaper and radio station shared a building and ownership for many years. The station broadcast on AM broadcasting from inception, periodically changing frequencies until its last AM home at 750 in 1984, and adopting a country music format in 1990. In 2001, the station moved to FM, retaining its legendary call letters as CKGB-FM but taking on the EZRock brand and adult contemporary format, giving the small Timmins radio market its first direct competition, as the Haliburton Broadcasting Group-owned CHMT had launched as adult contemporary/CHR hybrid Mix 93 just a few months before. Less than a year after EZRock's Timmins launch, CHMT flipped to fill the void in country radio as Moose FM. ==External links== * [http://www.ezrocktimmins.com/ CKGB] * [http://www.billdulmage.com/history/timmins.html Timmins station histories] Radio stations in Ontario Rogers Communications
