The station originally dates back to 1990 when Radio Communautaire Kapnord Inc. received an approval from the
Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) on September 28, 1990 to operate a low-power short-term French language community events radio station at Kapuskasing on the frequency of 91.5 MHz with 33 watts. Two more licences were granted before the station officially signed on in 1993. On January 26, 1993, Kapnord received CRTC approval to operate a new French language community radio station on the frequency of 89.7 MHz with an effective radiated power of 3,000 watts. The station officially signed on the air on October 20 later that same year with the
CKGN-FM callsign. ==Rebroadcasters==
