CISS-FM is a Canadian radio station in broadcasting at 105.3 FM in Ottawa, Ontario. The station currently broadcasts a hot adult contemporary format branded on-air as Kiss 105.3 and is owned by Rogers Media. CISS-FM's studios are co-located with its sister stations at Thurston Drive and Conroy Road, while its transmitter is located in Camp Fortune, Quebec.
The station was launched in 1972 with the call letters CKBY, playing a country music format.
On January 9, 2004, the station adopted a hot adult contemporary format and the "105.3 KISS-FM" moniker. The station launched with Pink's Get The Party Started. A month later after the format change, the station adopted its current calls. The CISS calls previously belonged to a Toronto radio station, also owned by Rogers, which now uses the call letters CKIS-FM. The CKBY calls, in turn, were moved to a third Rogers station in Smiths Falls. In the station's early years, the station's playlist was very similar to that of CHUM-FM in Toronto, but with a less rhythmic lean. Later that year, it shifted from Hot AC to adult top 40.
