In 2003, the CRTC denied the application by Blackburn Radio.[1] In 2004, Blackburn Radio was given approval to operate a new FM radio station at Wingham.[2] The station was launched on April 1, 2005 by Blackburn Radio with the branding 94.5 The Bull.

The station's transmitter is located near Formosa, and it broadcasts the signal with an effective radiated power of 75,000 watts. The station is co-located with sister stations CKNX and CKNX-FM.[3]
