History

The station was originally on the AM dial as CFYR, until it received CRTC approval to move to 96.7 FM in 1996, then launched as CFYR-FM.
In 2005, CFYR received CRTC approval to operate a transmitter at Whitecourt on the frequency 96.7 FM to replace CFYR-FM and launch as a stand-alone station with the callsign CFXW-FM.
On October 7, 2013, Newcap submitted an application to add a new FM transmitter at Fox Creek to rebroadcast CFXW-FM at 98.1 MHz with 610 watts. This rebroadcaster was approved on January 23, 2014. The 98.1 transmitter is still used as a repeater for CFXW today.
On July 7, 2017, the station flipped from active rock to classic hits, branded as Boom 96.7.
