CKCE-FM is a Canadian radio station broadcasting a hot adult contemporary format at 101.5 FM in Calgary, Alberta. CKCE's studios are located on 58th Avenue Southwest in Calgary, while its transmitter is located on Patina Hill Drive Southwest in the Prominence Point neighbourhood in western Calgary. The station is owned & operated by Jim Pattison Group.CKCE is currently ranked #12 in the Calgary market according to the Fall 2014 Numeris data report being released by BBM Canada.HistoryThe station was originally approved by the CRTC in 2006 from an application submitted by CHUM Limited (prior to the announcement of its merger with CTVglobemedia). However, because the original application requested the 90.3 frequency, which was granted instead to Newcap Broadcasting for what would become CFUL-FM, the approval was made conditional on the station submitting a revised application for a different frequency. The station subsequently applied for the 101.5 frequency, which was granted by the CRTC in January 2007.CKCE-FM began testing on March 12, 2007 with a stunting loop of Wannabe by Spice Girls, and officially launched on March 22 at 1:01 p.m. MST with a rhythmic-leaning Hot AC format as Energy 101-5. The first song played was What Goes Around by Justin Timberlake, followed by Like A Prayer by Madonna.
