CIUP-FM is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 99.3 FM in Edmonton, Alberta. The station, which uses the brand name up! 99.3, broadcasts an Adult Hits music format. This station is owned by the Jim Pattison Group and received approval by the CRTC in July 2005 [1] and was launched in September 2005 for testing, and officially debuted December 8, 2005 at 2 PM as CHMC-FM with a smooth jazz format branded as "Magic 99". Magic's first song was Michael Bublé's Sway.
On October 19, 2010, the station dropped its five-year-old smooth jazz format, in favor of its current adult hits format as up! 99.3, and adopted its current callsign. UP!'s first song was "Don't Stop" by Fleetwood Mac. The launch was simulcast on Global TV Edmonton.
On August 17, 2011, Rawlco Communications received CRTC approval to change the technical parameters of the station by increasing the effective height of antenna above average terrain from 148.4 to 272 meters and by relocating its transmitter.[2]
On July 10, 2014, Rawlco announced the sale of its Edmonton radio stations to The Jim Pattison Group.[3]
