The station originally began broadcasting at 1490 AM in 1963, with the call sign CFWB. On August 30, 2007, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) partially approved an application by Vista Broadcast Group to convert the station to the FM band but required the station to choose a different frequency than it had originally applied for.^[1] The station subsequently applied for the 99.7 frequency, which was approved on March 19, 2008.^[2]

On December 10, 2008, CFWB moved from the AM band to the FM band and rebranded itself as 99.7 The River. CFWB's callsign was changed to CIQC-FM on the same day.

In the summer of 2014, the station rebranded as 99.7 2day FM, with a hot adult contemporary format.

In September 2021, the station rebranded back to 99.7 The River.
