The station began broadcasting in 1967 at 1280 AM with the call sign CHQB. The station was originally owned by Sunshine Coast Broadcasting ltd and was later acquired by Vista Broadcast Group in 2005. On May 18, 2007 the station received approval from the CRTC to convert to the FM dial at 94.1, but the application was denied.[1] On November 1, 2007, the station was given approval to use the current frequency at 95.7 FM.[2]
The station relaunched as an FM station on August 27, 2008.
