KiSS 105.3 live

KiSS 105.3 is Ottawa's station for big pop hits and throwbacks. It broadcasts on 105.3 FM under the call sign CISS-FM and is owned by Rogers Sports & Media, which runs it from its Ottawa studios on Richmond Road alongside CHEZ 106. Like the other KiSS stations in Canada, its slogan is The Biggest Hits, The Best Throwbacks, and its playlist stretches from the 90s to today. On this page you can listen to KiSS 105.3 live online, free and without an app.

The music

KiSS 105.3 plays a hot adult contemporary mix. That means current pop hits that are already big, combined with the throwbacks that grown-up listeners know by heart: dance-pop from the 90s, the pop of the 2000s and the hits of the 2010s. Compared with a pure top-40 station, the sound is a little broader and more familiar, which makes it popular at work and in the car across the national capital region.

Local hosts for Ottawa and Gatineau

The station has its own Ottawa team. Mornings bring a breakfast show with chat about the city, celebrity news and listener calls, and the rest of the day follows a quick pace with short breaks and plenty of music. KiSS 105.3 runs contests for concert tickets and events, and supports local charity drives. Its signal reaches both sides of the Ottawa River, so it is heard in Gatineau as well as in Ottawa and the surrounding towns.

Part of the KiSS family

Rogers uses the KiSS name in several cities: KiSS 92.5 in Toronto, KiSS 91.7 in Edmonton, KiSS 102.3 in Winnipeg and others. Each has its own local hosts, but they share the same love of big hits. You can listen to all of them on this site.
