 The station was launched in 1983 with the call sign CIBC, and was later changed to CIRX.It had most of the time been Prince George's only rock station until 2003, when CKDV-FM (formerly CKPG-AM) launched with a classic rock format.By 2004, the station began moving towards an active/alternative rock format, but mellowed out by the late 2000s.
