History

In 2008, Rogers was licensed to operate a second radio station at Beeton with the callsign CJBT-FM. Not yet on the air, that station had until August 1, 2012 to launch, or face the cancellation of the license.
In 2009, CFAO began on-air testing. It is uncertain when the station officially launched.
As of June 25, 2010, CFAO has been shut down due to economic troubles, which led to the station's eviction from its rented studios; also during these final days of operation, the station was unable to pay wages to its staffers.
In 2013, Rogers sought renewal of CFAO's license; however, on December 19, 2014, the CRTC denied the station's renewal, citing many violations, including remaining dark since 2011, and failing to meet numerous target dates to resume broadcasting - the most recent being April 1, 2014. An intervention report from My [Broadcasting Corporation], owner of competing station CIMA-FM, cited that CFAO was only on the air for 11 months at most.
