History
The station was originally licensed by the CRTC in 1984. However, due to financial constraints at the CBC, the station was never launched, and the CBC was forced in 1991 to surrender all of its non-operating licenses. Some sources may incorrectly cite the station's call sign as CBOS-FM, the call sign that was assigned to the unlaunched 1984 license.The CBC subsequently applied for a new license, which was awarded in 2000. The station went on the air in the spring of 2001, on the same day as CBC Radio 2's CBBS-FM
