The station originally began broadcasting at 1490 AM in 1963, with the call sign CFWB. On August 30, 2007 the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) partially approved an application by Vista Broadcast Group to convert the station to the FM band, but required the station to choose a different frequency than it had originally applied for.[1] The station subsequently applied for the 99.7 frequency, which was approved on March 19, 2008.[2]
On December 10, 2008, CFWB moved from the AM band to the FM band and rebranded itself as The River. CFWB's callsign was changed to CIQC-FM on the same day.
In the summer of 2014, the station rebranded as 2DAY FM, with a hot adult contemporary format.
