The station was founded as
CJOC in 1926, named after its founder, Jock Palmer. In 1928, it was bought by Taylor Pearson & Carson, which evolved into
Selkirk Communications. Originally on 1100 AM, it moved to 1120 in 1928, 1400 in 1942 and 1220 in 1960. The station was a founding affiliate of the
Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in 1936 and then of its
Trans-Canada Network until 1962 when it became a
CBC Radio network affiliate. The station disaffiliated in 1978. Along with most of Selkirk's radio holdings, CJOC was sold to Rogers in 1989 after Selkirk merged with
Maclean-Hunter. On January 19,
2000 CJOC moved to FM under new call letters,
CJRX-FM. With the new frequency and call letters also came with a change in genre on November 3rd, 2000, from
country to
rock. In June 2016,
Rock 106 slightly rebranded to
106.7 Rock. ==References==
