The station has been on the air since June 14, 1975.

==History==
Island Radio was granted approval on November 8, 1975 to broadcast in [Sussex](/source/Sussex%2C_New_Brunswick) with a power of 500 [watt](/source/watt)s during the day, and 250 watts at night. Overnight programming was provided by [CKCW-FM](/source/CKCW-FM) in [Moncton](/source/Moncton).

On June 15, 1975, CJCW first began broadcasting at 590 [kHz](/source/Hertz). On April 7, 1978, the daytime operating power was increased to 1000 watts. Night operation was left at 250 watts.

In 1986, the station was acquired by [Maritime Broadcasting System](/source/Maritime_Broadcasting_System).

In 2000, CJCW switched to full-time local programming instead of [simulcasting](/source/simulcasting) CKCW during overnight periods. The station was branded as ''Favourites 590 CJCW''.

On September 10, 2007, the station (along with sister stations [CKNB-FM](/source/CKNB-FM), [CFAN-FM](/source/CFAN-FM) and [CKDH-FM](/source/CKDH-FM)) was rebranded to ''590 CJCW'' with "Your community, your radio station" as the positioning statement. CJCW also used ''The Best Hits of Yesterday and Today''.
