CigmCIGM is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts in Greater Sudbury, Ontario. The station broacasts country music at 790 on the AM dial. The station first aired at FM 92.7 in 1965, with the call letters CKSO. It adopted the CIGM calls in 1977. CIGM and sister station CKSO-AM were owned by Cambrian Broadcasting, who sold them to United Broadcasting in 1979. Cambrian was in a financial crisis due to the near-bankruptcy of its television station in the city, CICI, but the sale failed to resolve the crisis. In 1986, United sold CKSO and CIGM to Telemedia. In 1990, CKSO and CIGM swapped frequencies. CIGM moved to CKSO's 790 slot on the AM dial, and CKSO took on the new call letters CJRQ and CIGM's 92.7 FM frequency. After the 1990 swap, the CKSO call sign no longer existed in the Sudbury area until a Christian music station signed on in 2003. The current CKSO has no ownership affiliation with CIGM. In 2002, Telemedia was purchased by Standard Broadcasting. Shortly afterward, Standard sold CJRQ, CIGM and CJMX to Rogers Communications.
