On March 1, 2013, at Noon, after playing "Free Bird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, CFRK flipped to Top 40/CHR as Hot 92.3, whose logo and presentation was patterned after its sister station CIHT-FM in Ottawa.

On February 7, 2013, the CRTC approved Newcap's application to modify the technical parameters of the English language commercial radio programming undertaking CFRK-FM Fredericton by decreasing the station's average effective radiated power (ERP) from 93,000 to 42,000 watts (and by increasing the maximum ERP from 93,000 to 100,000 watts), by increasing the effective height of antenna above average terrain from 124.8 to 137.5 metres, by changing the radiation pattern of the antenna from non-directional to directional, and by relocating the antenna and transmitter from their current site at Hamtown Corner to Mount Hope.

On June 1, 2015, at Midnight, after playing "Amnesia" by Ilai Swindells, CFRK flipped to country, branded as New Country 92.3. The first song on "New Country" was "Sun Daze" by Florida Georgia Line. [2] The lack of a local Country FM radio station prompted the format change.
