In November 2016, CKGY rebranded from KG Country to the Real Country brand, as with other Newcap-owned country stations in Alberta. In 2019, the station began to syndicate its morning show Vinnie & Randi across 15 other Stingray stations in rural Alberta as part of a regional syndication strategy. The program contains local inserts for each market.
On March 4, 2024, CKGY rebranded as New Country 95.5, as part of another national rebrand of Stingray's country stations.
