History

C-FAX signed on in 1959 as a daytime-only radio station, transmitting at 1000 watts on 810 kHz from a site near the University of Victoria. The original owner's group included the Queale family, who also owned the local Queale Electronics store. The station, undercapitalized from the beginning, quickly ran into financial trouble, with Claire Copeland emerging as owner and manager. In 1964, the station changed dial position to 1070 KHz, and commenced 24/7 operation, transmitting from the Trial Islands. In 1967, power was increased to 10,000 watts. The University of Victoria (usually known as UVic, though originally as U of V) is located in Greater Victoria, British Columbia, Canada (northeast of Victoria). ... The Trial Islands as seen from Beach Drive in Oak Bay. ...


Claire Copeland sold the station in 1975 to Mel Cooper, who stepped down as General Manager of CKNW Vancouver to assume ownership of CFAX. Under Cooper's direction, the station increased its emphasis on news and information programming, and developed a subsidiary company specializing in recording original commercial jingles for sale throughout North America, and syndicating radio programming, "Seacoast Sound." CKNW is the leading talk radio station in Vancouver, British Columbia. ...


On June 22, 2007, CTVglobemedia became the owner of CFAX and sister stations CHBE-FM and CIVI-TV through its purchase of CHUM Limited, which had been approved by the CRTC on June 8. CIVI-TV (A-Channel Victoria; formerly known as The New VI) is a television station based in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. ...
