It originally broadcast on the 101.5 FM frequency, with a temporary license granted to La Radio Communautaire du Manitoba by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). [2] CKXL owned a mobile broadcast unit which traveled throughout the French communities of Manitoba during the summer of 1989. The mobile unit had a low power transmitter with an eight-mile coverage area. During this trial run, Winnipeggers were able to listen to CKXL on June 30, July 1 and during Folklorama '89. [3]

CKXL received a permanent license from the CRTC and moved to 91.1 FM on October 21, 1991. [4] CKXL broadcasts at 61,000 watts from the Starbuck Communications Tower. [5] [6]

In June 2006 CKXL-FM was authorized by the CRTC to decrease its amount of station-produced programming. [7] [8]
