For years, CJLS was carried at 1340 kHz on the AM band until the switch to FM after receiving CRTC approval in 2002. [2] The formal changeover from AM to FM took place in June 2003. [1]
In 2004, CJLS was given approval to operate a low-power rebroadcast transmitter in Yarmouth to resolve signal deficiencies caused by rough terrain surrounding the 95.5 FM transmitter located in Tusket Falls. The rebroadcaster began operating on 94.7 MHz with effective radiated power of 50 watts. [1]
In April 2016, the station was sold to Acadia Broadcasting. [3]
