The station was launched in 1999 by the Kugluktuk Radio Society,[3] following the demise of an earlier community radio organization in 1995. The station's programming was produced entirely by community volunteers, including music and talk programming in both English and Inuinnaqtun;[2] in 2014, the station created a 45-hour training course in community radio operation, in conjunction with Nunavut Arctic College.[1]
The Kugluktuk Radio Society owned and operated the station until it was acquired by the municipal government in 2018.
