history
The station began broadcasting in 1953 under the name CKLC-FM and was then operated by St. Lawrence Broadcasting. A sister station was launched at the same time. The original frequency was 99.5 and thus belonged to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) Network. In 1973 the frequency was changed to 98.3 FM and the callsign was changed to CFLY-FM.
The station was taken over by CHUM Limited in 1998, after which the station format was changed several times; from adult-contemporary to hot-adult contemporary format. In June 2007, the CTV Globemedia channels were sold to Bell Media .
