## History

The station was originally launched in 1956 as [AM](/source/AM_radio) 1560 **CFRS**, a 250-[watt](/source/Watt) [daytimer](/source/Daytimer) owned by Simcoe Broadcasting. In 1974, the station moved to AM 1600, and adopted the callsign **CHNR**. The following year, the station was acquired by Redmond Broadcasting. In 1997, the station moved to FM 106.7 and adopted its current callsign;[2][3] in 2004, the station moved to its current frequency (98.9 FM) to improve signal reception in the area.[4] After CHCD-FM's move to 98.9 MHz, the station became "CD98.9". In 2005, CHCD was denied to add a rebroadcaster at 93.1 FM in [Haldimand County, Ontario](/source/Haldimand_County%2C_Ontario) (Nelles Corners).[5]

In 2012, the CRTC approved the change to the ownership and effective control of Radiocorp Ltd. from a control exercised by James MacLeod to a control jointly exercised by Andrew Dickson and Jon Pole (My Broadcasting Corporation). Radiocorp Ltd. (CHCD Radio) was licensee of CHCD-FM.[6] In 2013, CHCD-FM changed its branding to *98.9 myFM*.
