History

The station was originally on the AM dial as CFYR, until it received CRTC approval to move to 96.7 FM in 1996, then launched as CFYR-FM.[1]

In 2005, CFYR received CRTC approval to operate a transmitter at Whitecourt on the frequency 96.7 FM to replace CFYR-FM and launch as a stand-alone station with the callsign CFXW-FM.[2]

On October 7, 2013, Newcap submitted an application to add a new FM transmitter at Fox Creek to rebroadcast CFXW-FM at 98.1 MHz with 610 watts.[3] This rebroadcaster was approved on January 23, 2014.[4]

On July 7, 2017, the station flipped to classic hits, branded as "Boom 96.7".

gollark: F# is fairly nice, I think.
gollark: The syntax isn't actually simple because they have so many extremely niche features.
gollark: Also, it's a very overcomplicated language.
gollark: It's also quite weakly typed, has a BEES standard library, and poor tooling.
