and his company became Selkirk Communications that year. In 1970, Selkirk acquired 100% ownership of CJVI, which switched to a country format in November 1972 and began branding as VI 90 on January 22, 1979. The country format was dropped for a mix of adult contemporary and adult standards music in January 1984 as CJVI began broadcasting in AM stereo, but the format went fully AC about a year later. More oldies music was gradually brought into the programming until CJVI had an all-oldies format by 1988. Maclean-Hunter Ltd. bought CJVI parent Selkirk Communications in 1989 and transferred the ownership to Rogers Media immediately afterward. CJVI dropped its CBC affiliation in 1991 (one of the last privately owned former affiliates to do so). On September 1, 1995, CFMS-FM was purchased by Rogers from then-owner Capital Broadcasting, paired up with CJVI and renamed CIOC-FM on December 11. On April 1, 1997, CJVI dropped its oldies format for a news/talk format, identifying on-air as "AM 900, Victoria's Information Superstation", but dropped that format and returned to oldies music on July 10, 1999. On September 2, 2000, CJVI moved to FM, switching frequencies and bands with Camosun College station CKMO as it moved to 103.1 MHz and became CHTT-FM, with a Top 40/CHR format branded as Hot 103; the first song played was "Bye, Bye, Bye" by N'Sync. In 2003, the format shifted to hot adult contemporary. On January 29, 2004, after playing "Love Song" by Sky, CHTT flipped to adult hits branded as Jack FM. The first song played on "Jack" was "Sharp Dressed Man" by ZZ Top. On February 24, 2015, CHTT flipped back to Top 40/CHR as KiSS 103.1. The last song played on "Jack" was "Hit the Road, Jack" by The Stampeders, while the first song on "KiSS" was "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars. On August 7, 2019, all of the "KiSS" on-air staff were let go, and the station began promoting a major change to come the following week. On August 15, after playing a block of "goodbye"-themed songs ending with "Bye, Bye, Bye" by N'Sync, CHTT changed its format back to adult hits and returned to its former "Jack" branding. The first song on the newly relaunched "Jack" was "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen.
