The station was licensed on the basis of a proposal to air a country format similar to that of the co-owned CHMT in Timmins. Instead, North Bay's CFXN broadcast an adult hits format from startup in 2006 as 106.3 Moose FM until changing to a light AC format in February, 2012, then to variety hits in April 2013. The new format of Biggest Variety stands alone as an option for 25- to 54-year-old listeners in the market.

Originally owned by Haliburton Broadcasting Group, the station was licensed by the CRTC in 2005. [1] As of 2012 the station is owned by the Vista Broadcast Group. [2]

On October 29, 2019, Vista applied to operate a new FM radio station in North Bay. The new station would operate at 90.5 MHz making it a sister station to CFXN-FM. [3] Vista received CRTC approval to operate a new oldies radio station at North Bay on May 25, 2020. [4] The call sign will be CFCH which are heritage calls for North Bay once belonging to what is now CKFX. Vista launched CFCH-FM at 90.5 MHz on June 15, 2021 with country music.

On June 7, 2023, the station rebranded as 106.3 Jet FM with a classic hits format. [5]
