History
editGolden West received approval from the CRTC[1] on April 26, 2001, and the station was launched in November of the same year. CHSN was the first sister station to CJSL. At launch, the station had an adult contemporary format.
CHSN's format, branding and call sign were all adopted from a radio station in Saskatoon whose owner, Rawlco Communications, dropped them to launch a new active rock station, CJDJ.
In 2012, following the launch of CKSE-FM, CHSN switched to a hot adult contemporary format, with a much heavier emphasis on Top 40 pop. The station currently uses the slogans "Today's Best Music" and "Estevan's Best Music".
