Z95.3 Vancouver

Z95.3 is a commercial FM station in Vancouver, British Columbia, broadcasting on 95.3 MHz under the call sign CKZZ-FM. It plays a hot adult contemporary mix of current and recent pop hits, aimed at an adult audience in English.

The station signed on in May 1991 with a dance music format, moved towards Top 40 in the 1990s, and switched to hot adult contemporary in 2004. It later operated as 95 Crave and as Virgin Radio before reviving the Z95.3 name in 2014 under Newcap Radio. Stingray Group, which acquired Newcap in 2018, owns it today. Its sister stations in the city have included 104.3 The Breeze.

Expect a mainstream playlist of pop and dance-leaning chart music with presenters and station imaging between songs, suited to listeners who want the current hits of the day rather than older catalogue. The stream is delivered over HTTPS as AAC audio at roughly 130 kbps, and it plays continuously without any need for an account or a sign-in.
