CHBN-FM (91.7 MHz) is a Top 40/CHR radio station based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The station, which is owned by Rogers Radio, a division of Rogers Sports & Media, operates with an ERP of 96 kWs.[1] CHBN's studios are located on Gateway Boulevard in Edmonton, while its transmitter is located near Anthony Henday Drive in eastern Edmonton. CHBN is branded as Kiss 91.7.
The station was first launched on February 17, 2005 under the joint ownership of CHUM Limited and Milestone Radio, the parent company of CFXJ-FM in Toronto as 91.7 The Bounce. At launch, CHBN aired a rhythmic top 40 before shifting to the current Top 40/CHR format. CHBN was acquired by CTVglobemedia in 2007 when it acquired the assets of CHUM Limited while the Citytv stations were sold to Rogers Media, who in turn acquired the station from CTVgm in 2010.
As of Feb 28, 2021, CHBN is the 10th-most-listened-to radio station in the Edmonton market according to a PPM data report released by Numeris.[2]
