Owned by Radio Beauséjour Inc., the station was licensed in 2004.[1] However, an article in the October 6, 2008 edition of the Northeast Radio Watch (NERW) stated that there's a new signal in Moncton operating at 90.7 FM, known as BO-FM 90.7 with a French adult contemporary format.[2][3]

The CFBO call letters were first used from 1928 to 1934 for a Saint John, radio station. After a change of ownership in 1934, the call letters changed to CHSJ and was heard at the 1120 kHz frequency. In 1945, the frequency moved to 1150 kHz. The original frequency of AM 890 would eventually move to 1210 kHz in 1933 and then 1120 kHz in 1934.[4]

CFBO-FM as "BO-FM" from 2008 until October 2021

In September 2021, the station switched to hot adult contemporary and changed its branding to Plus 90.7.

The station is a member of the Alliance des radios communautaires du Canada.
