[edit] History

The station was originally launched in 1928 as AM 800 CJRW. As with most early AM radio stations, it changed frequencies several times (see NARBA), permanently settling at 630 AM in 1935 and adopting the callsign CKRC in 1940.

In 1996, the station moved to the FM band and adopted its current callsign. It was acquired by CHUM Limited in 2001, and was the first station to adopt an adult hits format and the Bob FM brand (which has been credited as one of the inspirations behind the more famous Jack FM branding.)
