The station [[sign-on|signed on]] the air on {{Start date and age|1980|3|1}}.  Its original [[call sign]] was '''CJAZ-FM''' and it broadcast on 92.1 FM in Vancouver.  It was owned by [[Selkirk Communications]], airing an all-[[jazz music|jazz]] format.  It transmitted from [[Salt Spring Island]] at 100,000 watts. Although overall regional coverage was very good, poor [[FM stereo|stereo]] reception in the key Vancouver area led the station to make some changes in 1984.  It switched its frequency to 96.9&nbsp;MHz and it relocated its transmitter to Mount Seymour.  

Low ratings for its jazz format led to a format change on September 15, 1985, when the station adopted an [[urban adult contemporary]] format, the first in Canada. It rebranded as ''FM 97'' and the call sign was changed to '''CKKS-FM'''.
