Prior to moving to its current FM frequency in 1997, CJCD operated at AM 1240. CJCD-AM began broadcasting on November 13, 1979. On October 9, 1985, the station was granted a power increase from 1,000 to 4,000 watts. In September of the following year, a repeater in Hay River at 100.1 FM began operating. [1] The change to FM was approved in January 1997. [2]

The station was founded by Charles Dent, Derek Squirell and Reg James. [3] The station was sold to the Vista Broadcast Group in 2007. [4]

On May 21, 2014, CJCD rebranded under Vista's standardized "Moose" brand as 100.1 The Moose, maintaining its existing adult hits format. [3] [5] On November 13, 2019, CJCD celebrated its 40th anniversary on the air. [6]

On December 3, 2020, the station flipped to classic hits as 100.1 True North FM. [7] The rebranding was intended to be "more representative of the culture of the area", while the station introduced new human-interest segments throughout the day known as "True North Tales" to highlight the community.
