History.
The station officially began broadcasting on August 30, 2001, at 1:03 pm, with the call sign CIQX-FM and the brand name The Breeze. However, the station was rebranded on December 26, 2005, as California 103, a soft adult contemporary/smooth jazz format.
On March 3, 2008, at 3:00 pm, the station switched to its current classic hits/oldies format branded as "XL103".
The last song played on "California 103" was "Like a Lover" by Emilie-Claire Barlow while the first song played on "XL103 FM" was "Crocodile Rock" by Elton John.
The station's license was originally awarded to Telemedia; prior to its launch, Telemedia's Alberta stations were sold to Newcap Radio, with Standard Broadcasting as minority shareholder until 2007. The station adopted its current call sign on June 5, 2008, shortly after the former CFXL-FM in High River changed its own call sign to CKUV-FM.
