History

In 2008 CIUR-FM was licensed by the CRTC to operate at 104.7 FM.^[1]

The station began testing its signal in early 2009 and officially began broadcasting on December 14, of that year.^[2] The station launched with a Rhythmic/Urban contemporary format aimed primarily towards younger audiences, but not exclusively, at First Nations youth.

On April 7, 2014, CIUR-FM rebranded as Rhythm 104.7, and retained some on-air personalities.^[3] The station changed its target demographic from 18-30 to a 25-40 range, with its focus shifting towards a more mainstream rhythmic CHR format.^[3]This is the second Rhythmic CHR station in Canada, the other being CFXJ in Toronto.
