  1. CIWW is a commercial AM radio station in Ottawa, Ontario, owned by Rogers Sports & Media, and branded as CityNews Ottawa. It simulcasts an all-news radio format, along with co-owned 101.1 CKBY-FM. The radio studios and offices are at Thurston Drive and Conroy Road in Ottawa.
  2.  
  3. The station broadcasts at 50,000 watts, the maximum for Canadian AM stations. The transmitter site is on McKenna Casey Drive, near Strandherd Drive and Ontario Highway 416 in Nepean. To protect other stations on 1310 AM, it uses a directional antenna. By day it employs a two-tower array and at night a five-tower array. The nighttime signal is beamed mainly into Canada.
  4.  
  5. The station was launched in 1922 by Dr. George Geldert, with the call sign CKCO. After changing frequencies a number of times (as most early AM radio stations in North America did), the station permanently adopted its current 1310 AM frequency in 1941. In 1945, CKCO became Ottawa's affiliate of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's Dominion Network and remained so until the network dissolved in 1962.
  6.  
  7. In 1949, the station was purchased by Southam, and changed its callsign to CKOY. The use of the CKCO call sign was in no way related to CKCO-TV in Kitchener, which signed on five years later.
  8.  
  9. In 1972, FM sister station CKBY-FM was launched. In 1978, after two failed attempts to sell the stations to Moffat Communications, the CRTC approved their sale to Maclean-Hunter. The station adopted its current call sign (CIWW) in 1985, along with an Oldies format (at the time mostly music of the late 1950s to early 1970s.) The name used over the air was W1310, followed by Sunny 1310. In 1992 the station changed to the branding of Oldies 1310. In 1994 the stations became part of Rogers Radio when Rogers acquired Maclean-Hunter.
  10.  
  11. On October 12, 2010, the station announced it would be adopting an all-news radio format, to be branded 1310 News, taking effect the following Monday, October 18, at 6:00 a.m. CIWW is the fourth Rogers station to adopt a 24-hour all-news format after CFTR Toronto, CKWX Vancouver, and CFFR Calgary; the company also owns four other stations that combine the all-news format (during morning and afternoon drive) with talk programming.
  12.  
  13. The final song played on the station in its oldies format, at 5:55 a.m. on October 18, 2010, was "Life Is a Rock (But the Radio Rolled Me)", a song which rapidly recounts radio from the 1950s, '60s & '70s. This was followed at 5:58 a.m. by an announcement that the format change was taking effect. This now officially leaves Ottawa as the largest Canadian market with no AM music stations.
  14.  
  15. On December 3, 2020, at 10:00 a.m., CIWW rebranded itself as CityNews, and began simulcasting on sister station CKBY-FM (101.1) while continuing to broadcast on 1310.
  16.  
  17. The simulcast allows listeners to hear the station on FM if they prefer. The FM signal is strongest to the south and west of Ottawa, while the AM signal continues to cover Ottawa's eastern suburbs that may not pick up the FM station.
