It's the best of 1968, Peterborough style.

Gary Hansler spins the Top 10 of '68 on CKPT, which went on the air nine years earlier as a rival to the well-established CHEX-AM. The long-time CHUM group station was Top 40, adult contemporary and oldies at various times before switching to sports as The Team 1420 in 2001. CKPT went to standards in 2002 and five years later moved to the FM band as Energy 99.3 with a hot adult contemporary format branded as "Today's Best Music" (CKPT-FM moved to 99.7 in 2008).

Lots of interesting stuff on this aircheck, including some local ads, a full newscast and some CKPT jingles that don't really sound like they belong on a rock station.

Enjoy Gary Hansler on CKPT here.
