The station was originally launched in 1970 on AM 1230 as CJNL. Merritt Broadcasting, that station's owner, received CRTC approval to convert to the FM band in 2009,[1] and the station was relaunched on FM on August 31 that year. Simultaneously, the company's former sister division, NL Broadcasting, received approval to launch a separate rebroadcaster of CHNL, the company's talk station in Kamloops, on CJNL's old AM frequency.[1]
On December 22, 2020, the CRTC approved the completed acquisition of Merritt Broadcasting Ltd. to Jim Pattison Group[2]
