CILT-FM (96.7 FM, "Mix 96") is a radio station broadcasting a modern adult contemporary format. Licensed to Steinbach, Manitoba, it serves southeastern Manitoba, even to Winnipeg. It first began broadcasting in 1998 with an adult contemporary format as Lite 96.7.[1] The station is currently owned by Golden West Broadcasting. By 2006, the station changed formats to hot adult contemporary (in a more American-style playlist) under the branding Mix 96 and the adult contemporary format is now exclusively heard on rival CKY-FM. The adult top 40 format is more classic hits-leaning, like Edmonton's CKNO-FM. By 2010, regarding the demise of Curve 94.3's alternative rock format on CHIQ-FM and flip of that station to classic hits, the station switched to a modern adult contemporary format. The mainstream hot AC format would not resurface in Winnipeg until CKMM-FM switched from contemporary hit radio to hot adult contemporary by July 2011 due to contemporary hit radio launching on the new CFJL-FM.
