The station originally began broadcasting June 20, 1962 at 970 AM, and later moved to 560 AM and finally to the FM dial at 101.5 FM in 2003.[1] When the FM flip was approved, the station was to continue the country format of the former 560 CKNL. However, likely in response to the recent licensing of CKFU-FM in the same market at that time, when the station flipped to FM the format was switched to a rock station as 101.5 The Bear.

As part of a mass format reorganization by Bell Media, on May 18, 2021, CKNL flipped to adult hits under the Bounce branding.[2]
