CIWW is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 1310 AM in Ottawa, Ontario. The station airs an oldies format branded as Oldies 1310.
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 frequency in 1941. In 1945, CKCO became Ottawa's affiliate of the CBC's Dominion Network.
In 1949, the station was purchased by Southam, and changed its callsign to CKOY.
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 in 1985, and in 1994 the stations became part of Rogers Communications when it acquired Maclean-Hunter.
