History

The station officially began broadcasting on August 30, 2001, at 1:03 pm, with the call sign CIQX-FM and the brand name The Breeze. However, the station was rebranded on December 26, 2005, as California 103, a soft adult contemporary/smooth jazz format.

On March 3, 2008, at 3:00 pm, the station switched to its current classic hits/oldies format branded as "XL103". The last song played on "California 103" was "Like a Lover" by Emilie-Claire Barlow while the first song played on "XL103 FM" was "Crocodile Rock" by Elton John.

The station's license was originally awarded to Telemedia; prior to its launch, Telemedia's Alberta stations were sold to Newcap Radio, with Standard Broadcasting as minority shareholder until 2007. The station adopted its current call sign on June 5, 2008, shortly after the former CFXL-FM in High River changed its own call sign to CKUV-FM.

gollark: There's no (widely used) standard saying "if you're displaying an event/contact information/whatever else, you need these tags/attributes", so you generally just have to work off site-specific classes and structure.
gollark: If you want to, say, pull a list of scheduled events from one website, that's fine, you can do that quite easily, but if you want to do it for *many* websites, it is not.
gollark: But generally speaking, what I mean is that HTML is structured, but for display and not extracting (much) general data.
