History

On December 9, 2014, Clear Sky Radio received approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to operate a new English language radio station in Strathmore, Alberta. The new station would operate at 104.5 MHz with an average effective radiated power of 2,800 watts.
In January 2018, prior to its launch, the CRTC approved the sale of a 25% stake in the station to Golden West Broadcasting, with the remainder held by Clear Sky Radio's owners Mary McKinnon Mills and Paul Larsen. Clear Sky noted Golden West's experience with small-market stations, and stated that the economic conditions had prevented it from fully realizing its plans for the market. The station officially launched September 27, 2018 as 104.5 More Country.
In 2019, the remaining stake in the station was sold to Golden West.
