Owned by Touch Canada Broadcasting, the station received CRTC approval on April 24, 2009.[1] The station planned to broadcast from a transmitter site from the Black Diamond area southwest of Calgary, but was unable to secure a site, due to local opposition. In November 2013, the station acquired a site north of Black Diamond, in hopes of broadcasting from there.[2]

On June 29, 2015, Touch Canada Broadcasting launched CJLI, branded as AM 700, The Light.[3]
