After the station was previously denied a license to operate a new FM radio station at Brockville in 1986,[1] the station was originally licensed by theCRTC in 1987 to Eastern Broadcasting, the owner ofCFJR.[2] Eastern sold both stations to St. Lawrence Broadcasting before the FM station was launched. St. Lawrence launched the FM station in mid-1988 at 103.7 MHz with the call signCHXL-FM with aclassic rock format branded asXL-103.7.
