CKIS-FM is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 92.5 FM in Toronto, Ontario. Owned by Rogers Media, the station broadcasts a Top 40 (CHR) format branded as Kiss 92.5. The station is one of two top-40 stations licensed to the city of Toronto (the other being CKFM) as well as the first CHR-pop station owned by Rogers since CHTT-FM in Victoria shifted from top 40 to hot AC in July 2003.
CKIS's studios are located at the Rogers Building at Bloor and Jarvis in the northeastern corner of downtown Toronto, while its transmitter is located atop First Canadian Place.
On July 31, 1989, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) announced a call for applications to license a new FM station on the 92.5 frequency, which was believed to be the last available FM frequency in the Toronto market. On August 8, 1990, Rawlco Communications was awarded a licence from the CRTC for a new FM radio station. The format chosen to air on the frequency was country music that would target an audience ranging from 25–54 years of age. Rawlco planned on changing frequencies for the station to 99.1 FM, which was formerly the home of CKO-FM-1, but cancelled the plan after the CRTC denied this, and gave 99.1 to CBLA. On January 26, 1993, at 1 p.m., singer Anne Murray pressed the button to launch the station, with the CISS-FM call letters and "CISS-FM 92.5" (pronounced "kiss") branding.
