The station first aired at FM 92.7 in 1965, with the call letters CKSO. It adopted the CIGM calls in 1977. CIGM and sister station CKSO-AM were owned by Cambrian Broadcasting, who sold them to United Broadcasting in 1979. Cambrian was in a financial crisis due to the near-bankruptcy of its television station in the city, CICI, but the sale failed to resolve the crisis.
In 1990, CKSO and CIGM swapped frequencies. CIGM moved to CKSO's 790 slot on the AM dial, and CKSO took on the new call letters CJRQ and CIGM's 92.7 FM frequency. After the 1990 swap, the CKSO call sign no longer existed in the Sudbury area until a Christian music station signed on in 2003. The current CKSO has no ownership affiliation with CIGM.

In fall 2005, CIGM and sister station CKAT in North Bay underwent a format change, with country music cut back (although not entirely eliminated) in favour of increased news and sports programming.
The CIGM is open to the Pasteur community and also to external customers interested in new transgenic, knock-out or knock-in murine models.
The CIGM is a novel technological core facility within the Institut Pasteur, which aims to generate new models of genetically-engineered mice by classical transgenesis techniques or by homologous recombination in embryonic stem (ES) cells (targeted transgenesis).
In addition, 4 new projects have already been evaluated and are included in the CIGM waiting list for 2005 (the construction of the homologous recombination vectors is ongoing in the respective laboratories).
