==History==
The station was launched in 1927 as CHGS originally broadcasting at 1120 on the AM dial. In 1934, the station moved to 1450, then to 1480 in 1941, and then to its final AM frequency at 1240 in 1948. The station also adopted its current call letters at the time.

In November 1999, CJRW officially made its move to the [FM](/source/FM_broadcasting) band at 102.1&nbsp;MHz.<ref>[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/1999/DB99-191.HTM Decision CRTC 99-191]</ref> After the switch to FM, the station became known as C102 with a [country](/source/country_music) format. In 2002, Gulf Broadcasting Company, which was owned by Paul Schuman was sold to the Maritime Broadcasting System.
