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.

On December 3, 2020, the station flipped to classic hits as 100.1 True North FM.

On October 20, 2025, Vista Radio flipped CJCD to adult contemporary format as 100.1 GO FM. The flip is focused on bringing positive vibes to the territory. [8]
