CKPC-FM is a Canadian radio station broadcasting at 92.1 FM from 571 West Street in Brantford, Ontario. The station is one of a chain of eight Jewel branded stations and has been owned since 2009 by Evanov Radio Group.
"Jewel 92" broadcasts a Soft AC music format, billed as "Lite & Refreshing", with some oldies and a mix of "contemporary songs by today’s artists" and "the greatest songs from the last 40 years". In the evening, from 7 to 11pm, the station broadcasts an adult standards program known as The Lounge, hosted by one of several on-air personalities from Jewel stations, playing "Music With Style", often with content from the Great American Songbook. From 11pm to midnight, the station airs instrumental beautiful music pieces under the branding The International Concert Series.
The station's signal is strong, reaching much of the population of Southern and Southwestern Ontario, though not much of east Toronto. Jewel 92 specifically targets residents near its Brantford, Ontario location: Hamilton, Ontario, Burlington, Ontario, Kitchener-Waterloo and Cambridge, Ontario with relevant news, traffic reports and regional advertising.
Competing radio stations more specifically target young adults with a more edgy mix of music than played by The Jewel 92.1. These include CHYM-FM 96.7 in Kitchener-Waterloo, Hamilton, Ontario's K-LITE CKLH-FM and St. Catharines, Ontario's EZRock I HeartRadio CHRE-FM.
The station has a series of regulars, including Ed McMahon (5:30-10am), Dave Creelman (10am-3pm), and Kent Chambers (3-7pm). On weekends, part-time personalities take over, including Bob Murray, Richard Huskisson and Suzanne Joyce. All present an adult contemporary variety of music, from artists such as Elton John, Rod Stewart, Celine Dion, The Eagles, Kelly Clarkson, James Taylor, Lady Antebellum, Adele and Michael Bublé. A popular feature, the daily Lunchtime Trivia runs from noon until the trivia question is succefully answered by a listener. News and traffic reports are provided from early morning to 6pm.
