The station first aired in 1951 as AM 1400 CKFH, a news and sports station owned by legendary Canadian broadcaster Foster Hewitt. It moved to AM 1430 in 1960, and began playing Top 40 music in 1966. In 1975, the station switched to a country music format.

The station was subsequently sold to Telemedia in 1981, adopting its current callsign and switching to an adult contemporary format. In 1983, the station briefly adopted talk radio programming, but returned to its music format within a few months. The station subsequently adopted an oldies format in 1989, and switched to its current sports programming in 1992.

In 1994, Telemedia acquired CKYC from Rogers Communications. In 1995, Telemedia swapped the stations' frequencies, moving CJCL to its current 590 and giving CKYC the old 1430 frequency.

CJCL was itself acquired by Rogers Communications in 2002.
