SONICS was established as a community organization in the late 1980’s. Back when we were first established CKRZ was classified as Pirate Radio and was run by volunteers. Only those in close enough proximity to the antenna could tune into our station back in the day. On July 21, 1990 (the official anniversary date for CKRZ) we began broadcasting 24 hours and soon after became licensed by the CRTC as a Native B Community Radio Station. CKRZ changed call letters in the 1990’s as we expanded our reach, and has continued to grow over the years. We continue to be a volunteer driven station with two staff DJs, a small but dedicated group of volunteer hosts who ensure our listeners receive quality programming. In 2013 SONICS became incorporated as a Non-Profit Organization and began our reorganization and expansion plans shortly after. We continue to be dedicated to the people of Six Nations and New Credit and hope that our Native Community Radio Station continues to grow in the years to come.
