History
The station's founders received approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) on June 26, 2014, to construct a new English-language commercial FM station. The station signed on the air on February 20, 2015.
On May 10, 2019, Stingray Group announced its intention to purchase R.B. Communications' two stations in Welland. The sale fell through in early 2020. In 2022, Wellport announced a new deal to sell CIXL and CKYY to My Broadcasting Corporation.
On September 20, 2022, the CRTC approved the change of ownership from R.B. Communications Ltd. to My Broadcasting Corporation.
