The CKVX call sign was originally used by Chilliwack, British Columbia radio station CKKS-FM between 2000 and 2004.

In August 2016, CKVX increased its power to 100,000 watts; the new signal covers the majority of west central Saskatchewan, although the station will primarily focus on serving Kindersley and Rosetown.[3] In September 2016, CKVX-FM flipped to country.
