History

The station was launched as The Coast FM on February 27, 2006, by 2079966 Ontario Ltd.,[1] 70.1% owned by local businessmen Brian Cooper and Danny McCarthy, and 29.9% owned by the Haliburton Broadcasting Group.[2]

On February 17, 2009, the station applied to the CRTC to add a transmitter in Port Elgin operating at 90.9 MHz and was denied on May 13, 2009.[3] The station reapplied to add a transmitter in Port Elgin on January 15, 2010, which received approval on March 12, 2010. The new Port Elgin transmitter would operate on the frequency 90.9 MHz.[4][5] Also in February 2009, the station's owners announced a tentative deal to sell the station to My Broadcasting Corporation, which received approval on May 13, 2009.[6][7]

On January 4, 2010, CIYN was officially relaunched as myFM.

On September 21, 2020, CIYN changed to Oldies 95.5, 90.9 and 99.7.[8]

On December 22, 2020, My Broadcasting Corporation signed an agreement to sell CIYN Kincardine and its 2 transmitters CIYN-FM-1 in Goderich and CIYN-FM-2 in Port Elgin to Lakeside Radio Broadcasting Corporation. The CRTC held a hearing on May 27, 2021, to consider the sale and it received approval on June 30, 2021.[9]

On September 1, 2021, Lakeside Radio dropped CIYN's oldies/classic hits format to a classic rock format branded as Shoreline Classics.[10]
