The station, owned by the Stingray Group since 2018,^[1] airs a classic hits format with some talk and sports at 610 on the AM dial. The station launched on May 1, 1970. CHNL has been a mix of news/talk station since September 2006 and a classic hits station since April 2014. Prior to it, the station aired an adult Contemporary format and branded as a "lite hits" station in the 1980s.

On April 25, 2009, CHNL received CRTC approval to add a transmitter in Merritt at 1230 kHz.^[2] The transmitter took over the AM frequency of Merritt's local radio station CJNL, which converted to 101.1 MHz and now broadcasts with the call sign CKMQ-FM. 1230 kHz went off-air for good on September 15, 2020 when the land owner did not renew the lease on the transmitter property.
