In April 2000, CIKX began airing programming separate from CJCJ. Studios and offices are located at 399 Broadway Boulevard in Grand Falls. On June 7, 2000, Telemedia Radio Atlantic Ltd. received CRTC approval to add a transmitter for CIKX-FM at Plaster Rock using the facilities of the CJCJ rebroadcasting transmitter, CJCJ-2. As a result of the change, the CJCJ rebroadcasters CJCJ-1 and CJCJ-2 were deleted.[2]

On April 12, 2007, Astral Media Radio Atlantic Inc. received approval to operate a transmitter for CIKX-FM at Plaster Rock operating on 91.7 MHz with an effective radiated power of 50 watts.[3] The new transmitter would replace the existing AM transmitter at that location. The AM transmitter was inefficient, worn-out and difficult to maintain. The AM transmitter site was in a low-lying area. The new FM transmitter would be located in an area with an elevation for line-of-sight coverage.

On February 4, 2008, Astral Media Radio Atlantic Inc. received approval to change the frequency of CIKX-FM-1 to 88.3 MHz.[4]

gollark: If they wanted it for *function* they would buy a cheap digital one as I did.
gollark: But they probably do know that it's a high-status watch.
gollark: They might not know or care what would be a technically superior watch.
gollark: They're status symbols. People desire those. The system is working as intended.
