In 2003, the CRTC denied the application by Blackburn Radio.[1] In 2004, Blackburn Radio was given approval to operate a new FM radio station at Wingham.[2] The station was launched in 2005 by Blackburn Radio with the branding 94.5 The Bull.
The station's transmitter is located near Formosa, Ontario, and it broadcasts the signal with an effective radiated power of 75,000 watts. The station is colocated with sister stations CKNX and CKNX-FM.[3]
The station also re-broadcasts at 91.7 in Bluewater, Ontario under the call sign CIBU-FM-1.[4]
The station's morning show is hosted by Phil Main.[5]
In April 2014, the station removed new rock from the playlist, now airing mostly classic rock with the current branding, Classic Rock 94.5.
