About Us

Radio That Dares To Be Different

CKOL was founded by Owner/General Manager David Lockwood in 1992. His vision was to serve the Trent Hills community with a dedicated local radio station featuring great music, public service and the ongoing promotion of local talent, business and events. Dave was presented with the Mayor’s Civic Pride Award by Campbellford Mayor Hector MacMillan in April 2014 in recognition of his contribution to the community.
