History

[edit]

CFAN originally began as CKMR on April 4, 1949 at 1340 AM. It moved to 790 in 1956. In 1973, CKMR's callsign had changed to CFAN. On July 2, 2002, CFAN was given approval by CRTC to switch to the FM band.[1] On January 10, 2003, CFAN officially launched as an FM station at 99.3 MHz branded as 99.3 The River. On September 7, 2012 at 6 p.m., CFAN-FM changed its format from adult contemporary to country. The station's branding remained the same but the station's slogan was changed to "Today's Best Country".
