The station was first launched in 1926 as CFJC 1120 AM, owned by the local N. S. Dalgliesh & Son department store. It was acquired by the Kamloops Sentinel in 1932, and changed frequency the following year to 1310. The station became an affiliate of the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission, a corporate precursor to the CBC, and retained an affiliation with CBC Radio afterward. Its frequency subsequently changed to 800 AM in 1934, 880 in 1935 and 910 in 1941. The Sentinel finally sold the station to Inland Broadcasters in 1957.

Sister station CFJC-FM was launched in 1962.

CFJC dropped its CBC affiliation in 1977 when the CBC launched CBYK-FM, then a local rebroadcaster of Vancouver's CBU. The station then moved to its final AM frequency, 550, in 1979.

CFJC and its FM sister station were acquired by the Jim Pattison Group, their current owner, in 1987. Pattison converted CFJC to its current FM frequency, adult contemporary format and call sign in 2001.[1] By December 2010, the station switched formats to hot adult contemporary, dropping most classic hits from the playlist, and going head-to-head up against rock-leaning contemporary hit radio station CKRV-FM (which had been hot AC up until 2010). CKBZ-FM had been a reporter on the Mediabase & Nielsen BDS Canadian hot adult contemporary panels before the switch to hot adult contemporary. CKBZ-FM was the last adult contemporary station reporter on the Mediabase Canadian hot AC panels, while the only non-hot AC stations on those panels such as CKRV-FM, CHSU-FM and CICF-FM are contemporary hit radio instead.

gollark: I think either the piston will fly out or it'll be too weak to function usefully with the power they can provide it but who knows.
gollark: Apparently whoever is doing the projectile thing is making a simple vaguely coilgun-type thing. I have no idea if it will actually work as they explained it.
gollark: Does it doing combustion count as *on* fire?
gollark: There would be significant legal issues and also quite likely damage to the box.
