CHBN-FM is a Top 40/CHR radio station based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The station, which is owned by Rogers Communications, operates at 91.7 MHz with an ERP of 100 kW. CHBN's studios are located on Gateway Boulevard in Edmonton, while its transmitter is located near Anthony Henday Drive in eastern Edmonton. CHBN broadcasts a contemporary hit radio format branded as Kiss 91.7.
CHBN is ranked #12 in the Edmonton market according to the August 30, 2015 PPM data report.
CHBN signed on the air as "91.7 The Bounce" on February 17, 2005. When the station first signed on, the station aired a rhythmic top 40 format, but moved to the current CHR format in December 2005. They became the only CHR station in the Edmonton market when CKRA (96X) shifted their format to play a Hot AC format in August 2005, and then later to country music four months later. After this surprise development, The Bounce shifted to more mainstream pop music.
Every year in October, in an event called "Bras Across the Bridge", for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, CHBN collects bras from listeners, donating $1 to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation for every bra collected. At the end of the month, they then tie all the bras together and span the string of bras across the High Level Bridge as much times as they can.
