History.
It's uncertain when the station signed on as CFOK, however, the station dates back prior to the 1970s as a rebroadcaster of CKBA-FM, CKVH and CKWA.
Over the years, the station has gone through different brandings, formats and ownerships.
Move to FM.
On October 8, 2009, CFOK 1370 applied to convert to 97.9 MHz. The station received CRTC approval on February 19, 2010.
In August 2011, 1370 CFOK began testing on their new frequency at 97.9 MHz. After the official launch of the new station on 97.9 FM, the station's call sign will be CKWB-FM.
On September 6, 2011, at 6:00 am MDT, CFOK dropped its classic hits format and made its official move to 97.9 MHz as "97.9 The Range" with its new call sign CKWB-FM and a country music format. CFOK's old AM transmitter was shut down.
In November 2016, CKWB rebranded under the "Real Country" brand, as with other Newcap-owned country stations in Alberta.
