CING-FM (95.3 MHz Energy 95.3) is a Canadian radio station in Hamilton, Ontario. The station airs a hot adult contemporary format. CING's studios are located on Main Street West in Hamilton, while its transmitter is located near Hwy 5 and Millgrove Side Rd in Flamborough. CING is owned by Corus Entertainment.
CING was launched in 1976 by Burlington Broadcasting, at 107.9 FM in Burlington. Initially an easy listening and then an oldies station, the station switched to a dance format in the summer of 1991, which garnered a huge audience, after several months of adding new-age music to its mixture of classical and MOR music. The station applied to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) a number of times in the 1980s for frequency changes in the hopes of better reaching the more lucrative Toronto market, but was denied each time.[1][2]
