The station had a signal covering much of the Wahta Reserve, but was somewhat weak in nearby Bala. Westwards towards Georgian Bay, it could be heard as far as Midland.
The station was on air from around November 17, 2002 until August 15, 2008.[citation needed] It has since been shut down by the current band council for political reasons.[citation needed] It is uncertain if the station will return to the air, as no renewal application had been filed with the CRTC, and the owner has not filed an application for a new license.
