CHBX is essentially a semi-satellite of CICI. It airs the same programming as CICI at all times, except some commercials and regional segments on the news.
The station first aired in 1978 with the call letters CKCY. It was owned by Huron Broadcasting, and was a sister station of an AM radio outlet with the same call letters. It adopted the current CHBX call sign in 1986, when the radio stations' sale to the Mid-Canada Radio Network meant that the TV and radio station no longer had common ownership.
