rogers changed ckvx from alternative rock to a smooth jazz/adult contemporary hybrid as ckcl on december 26, 2003, making cfox the lone alternative rocker in vancouver. cfox soon returned to an active rock format, mixing in classic hard rock and heavy metal music, but continues to lean alternative rock. most alternative songs were toned down when ckpk-fm signed on in 2008. by 2011, the station returned to alternative.
