CHBN-FM (91.7 FM, "Kiss 91.7") is a radio station in Edmonton. Owned by Rogers Radio, a division of Rogers Sports & Media, it broadcasts a contemporary hit radio format. Its studios are located on Gateway Boulevard in Edmonton, while its transmitter is located near Anthony Henday Drive in eastern Edmonton.
The station was first launched on February 17, 2005 under the joint ownership of CHUM Limited and Milestone Radio, the parent company of CFXJ-FM in Toronto. At launch, CHBN aired a rhythmic top 40 before shifting to the current CHR format. CHBN was acquired by CTVglobemedia in 2007 when it acquired the assets of CHUM Limited. CTVglobemedia would later sell the station to Rogers (which had acquired its sister television station CKEM-DT as part of the CHUM sale) in 2010.
As of Feb 28, 2021, CHBN is the 10th-most-listened-to radio station in the Edmonton market according to a PPM data report released by Numeris.
