CKIK-FM (101.3 MHz, Play 101) is a radio station in Red Deer, Alberta. Owned by Harvard Media, it broadcasts a rhythmic hot adult contemporary format.

History

The station received CRTC approval on June 1, 2009,[1] and launched on July 24, 2009 as Kraze 101.3 with a CHR/Top 40 format.[2]

Originally owned by L.A. Radio Group, the station was acquired by Harvard Broadcasting in December 2015.[3]

CKIK-FM is a former callsign of a radio station in Calgary, which is known today as CFGQ-FM.

On January 15, 2024, the station flipped to rhythmic adult contemporary rebranding as Play 101, taking its branding and format from Edmonton sister station CKPW-FM.[4]
