CFHK-FM, or 1031 Fresh FM, is a radio station owned by Corus Entertainment and transmitting from St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada that transmits at 50,000 watts on a 492 foot-high transmitter at 103.1 MHz on the FM dial. The station plays a contemporary hit radio format. Although licensed to St. Thomas, the station's studios and offices are located in nearby London, with the other Corus Radio London stations.
CFHK was originally CHLO, an AM station broadcasting on 680 kHz and with studios in St. Thomas. Due to interference from CFTR in Toronto, which also occupied the 680 frequency, CHLO moved to 1570 kHz in the 1970s. CHLO had a Top 40 music during the 1960s, and a country music format during the 1980s into the 90s. CHLO moved to the FM band in 1994, and changed its calls to CFHK-FM.
On January 12, 2000, CFHK, which had been known on-air as "The Hawk", became the "Energy Radio" network, while The Hawk moved to co-owned CKDK in Woodstock. The Energy Radio network was unstable and station branding changed frequently. In 2002, the network was pulled. CFHK became local again as "Energy 103", serving only London and surrounding area. In August, 2005, the Energy Radio brand was folded completely and CFHK became Adult CHR station "1031 Fresh FM". The morning program featuring "D, Mindy & Gord" moved from co-owned CFPL-FM (FM96) to launch the new station format.
