History

The station was launched in 1955 by Rideau Broadcasting, at 1070 AM, and played a country music format. It began broadcasting in a daytime-only capacity On October 22, 1955. In 1958, the station's frequency changed to 630 AM.
In 1969, CJET-FM was also launched as a stereo simulcast of the AM signal. That station now uses the callsign CKBY.
In 1984, the AM and FM stations were sold to Harvey Glatt's CHEZ-FM Inc., which was subsequently acquired by Rogers Communications, the stations' current owner, in 1999. Rogers converted CJET to FM the following year at 92.3 MHz as Country 92, and the station adopted an adult hits format with the Jack FM branding in 2004. In September 2015, the station changed its format to variety hits but kept the JACK-FM branding. The station's format will feature hits from the late 1960s through today.
