Station's studios during its 1090 CHEC era.

The station originally began broadcasting in 1959 as CHEC at 1090 AM.[1] It was owned by Southern Alberta Broadcasting,[1] which later became a subsidiary of Shaw Communications. Notable radio personalities during this period included Bryan Fustukian, broadcasting as Vik Armen.

From 1985 to 1992, Tim Hitchner worked as a radio DJ at the station.[2] In 1986, Hitchner and other employees at CHEC created and recorded Brocket 99, a controversial comedy tape, at the station's studios.[2]

The station was acquired by Monarch Broadcasting in 1993.[1] It changed its call sign to CKRX later that same year, adopting new branding as 1090 Rocks.[1] The station moved to its current frequency 95.5 FM in 1996,[3] and adopted its current call sign and format in 1997.[1]

Monarch Broadcasting was acquired by Pattison in 2000.[1]

In October 2022, the station rebranded as Wild 95.5, taking its name from Calgary sister station CKWD-FM.[4]
