History
On January 11, 2011, CHTK received Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission approval to convert CHTK to 99.1 MHz.
As part of a mass format reorganization by Bell Media, on May 18, 2021, CHTK flipped to adult hits, and adopted the Bounce branding.
On February 8, 2024, Bell announced a restructuring that included the sale of 45 of its 103 radio stations to seven buyers, subject to approval by the CRTC, including CHTK, which was sold to Vista Radio. The application was approved on February 13, 2025. On April 14, 2025, the station rebranded under Vista's Coast FM brand with no change in format.

Why this record matters
“CHTK-FM” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, CHTK-FM, radio and station provides the most credible route into that argument.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 24, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5011380. Authority coordinates are 54.284, -130.315. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2011, 1965, 2021 and 2024.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
