History
[edit source]Owned by Pineridge Broadcasting, the station was authorized on May 8, 2008.[2][3][4] Corus Entertainment's CKRU-FM had also applied to use the 96.7 MHz frequency, but had to select a different FM frequency (100.5 MHz).
On May 11, 2011, the station signed on the air as Magic 96.7 with an adult contemporary format. The CJWV-FM call sign was formerly used at a radio station in Winnipeg, Manitoba. CJWV-FM's morning program was hosted by broadcaster Dan Duran and actress Linda Kash.[5]
On September 1, 2015, CJWV was purchased by My Broadcasting Corporation as part of the acquisition of Pineridge Broadcasting Inc. On September 2, 2015, CJWV switched to an oldies format as Oldies 96.7.[6][7]
On July 27, 2026, My Broadcasting Corpoation dropped the Oldies 96.7 branding and rebranded as 96.7 WOW FM. [8] MBC also rebranded all other oldies stations to WOW FM in Brighton, Arnprior and Simcoe. [9]
