The station was launched on November 6, 2010 with a temporary format of Christmas music. The permanent format debuted on December 27, 2010. Over its first 5 years, the station has grown from being an Adult Top 40 (using the slogan "Cadillac's Hits Without The Rap") to a full CHR using the slogan "Cadillac's New Number One". The station, in an unusual twist for a CHR, still flips to all Christmas just after Thanksgiving each year.
