The station was launched in 1982 by North Superior Broadcasting. It was acquired by Dougall Media in 2002.

In 1986, CFNO received approval to add a transmitter and rebroadcast the programming of CFNO-FM Marathon at Nipigon/Red Rock, Ontario on the frequency 103.7 MHz.[5] The station was advised to seek another frequency in Nipigon/Red Rock. CFNO-FM currently rebroadcasts its signal at 100.7 MHz in Nipigon.

In 1988, CFNO received approval to add a transmitter and rebroadcast the programming of CFNO-FM Marathon at Dubreuilville on the frequency 93.9 MHz.[6] In 2004, the station was authorized to delete the transmitter CFNO-FM-6 in Dubreuilville as the transmitter was no longer required.[7]

On October 25, 2013, Dougall Media submitted an application to operate a new FM transmitter in Beardmore on 107.1 MHz.[8]

CJWA

CJWA-FM in Wawa was also formerly a rebroadcaster of CFNO.[9] North Superior launched a separate station there in 1998, after the town's sole local radio station was closed in 1996. CFNO's former rebroadcaster in Chapleau also became a rebroadcaster of CJWA's signal instead.

North Superior sold CJWA at the same time as CFNO, although to a different new owner.
