Owned by La Radio communautaire CKNA, the station's original approval was to operate a new radio station at 98.1 FM in 1984,[1] until it received approval to move to its current frequency at 104.1 FM in 1986.[2] The station had signed on previous to being licensed, going under the call sign CJAN (in reality assigned to a station in Asbestos, Quebec), over the 1982 Christmas holiday and permanently on January 30, 1983.
