The station was originally licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission on September 12, 2001 as a developmental campus/community station, a licence process created by the CRTC to encourage and streamline the creation of campus and community radio stations.[1] The station was subsequently granted a full Class A license in 2007.[2]

Blackfoot's "Highway Song" was the first song broadcast on September 12, 2001.

CFUR-FM is a member of the National Campus and Community Radio Association and the Community Radio Fund of Canada.
