History

CJFX originally broadcast on 580 AM for sixty years. While on 580, it was a variety station (country, pop, rock, Celtic). The 98.9 FM signal first went on the air in 1998 to correct coverage issues with the AM signal where it only operated at a couple thousand watts and rebroadcast the AM programming. In 2003, CJFX was authorized to make 98.9 FM the main signal, increase its power and simulcast its programming on 580 AM for ninety days. At this time, CJFX changed its on-air branding to 98.9 X-FM.

The more powerful FM signal was implemented in early 2003 and the AM 580 signal was shut down for good in June of that year.

CJFX also operates a transmitter in Inverness at 102.5 FM in order to correct coverage problems that were created as a result of the AM transmitter being shut down.
