History.
Midland-Penetang Broadcasting Ltd. opened CKMP 1230 AM on July 1, 1959 with studios at 196 Dominion Avenue in Downtown Midland. The "MP" in the call letters was for the towns of Midland and Penetanguishene. CKMP was home to many well-known announcers, including Jim Van Horne
, while CFOR became CICX-FM, broadcasting at 105.9 FM. Both stations were branded as KICX-FM, sharing announcers and programming for much of their daily schedule. This arrangement continued until CICX switched to the EZ Rock format in 1996.
Larche Communications purchased CICZ from Telemedia in 1997, and acquired CICX from Rogers Communications in 2007.
On March 3, 2008, Larche moved the country format to CICX, replacing the Orillia station's former Jack FM format, and adopted the classic rock format on CICZ.
