CKNO-FM (102.3 MHz, 102.3 Now! Radio) is a radio station in Edmonton, Alberta. Owned by the Jim Pattison Group, it broadcasts a hot adult contemporary format.
As of Feb 28, 2021, CKNO is the number one-listened-to radio station in the Edmonton market according to a PPM data report released by Numeris. [1]
The station received approval by the CRTC on October 17, 2008, [2] and officially launched on February 23, 2010. [3] On July 10, 2014, Rawlco announced the sale of CKNO and sister station CIUP to the Jim Pattison Group. [4]
Since the acquisition, Pattison has also extended the Now! format and branding (which carries a focus on topical discussions) to sister stations in Winnipeg and Vancouver (the latter has since changed formats). CKCE-FM in Calgary also uses a similar format, but as Today Radio. [5] [6]
