History

On April 13, 2004, Norwesto received approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to operate a new FM radio station at Vermilion Bay along with repeaters.^[1]

The station launched at 1:04 p.m. on November 22, 2004. The first song played was "Get the Party Started" by Pink.

On September 1, 2010 Q104 and Norwesto Communications were sold to Golden West Broadcasting.

On January 29, 2010, Norwesto received approval to change Sioux Lookout's CKQV-FM-3 frequency from 104.5 MHz to 104.1 MHz.^[2]

On May 7, 2012, Golden West applied to change the frequency of CKQV-FM-1 Dryden from 104.5 MHz to 104.3 MHz. This is due to ongoing interference with the 104.5 signal from associated repeater CKQV-FM-2 in Kenora as received in the Vermilion Bay area. This proposed frequency change eliminates that interference. The CRTC approved Golden West's application on October 1, 2012.^[3]
