History

In 2006, the CRTC approved an application by Harvard Broadcasting for a new FM radio station in Calgary, which would broadcast an alternative rock format.[1]

The station officially launched at midnight on January 1, 2007 as X92.9, hosting a free New Year's Eve concert at the University of Calgary's Mac Hall featuring Hot Hot Heat. Owing to the group's mixed reception, the station promoted a "No Nickelback Guarantee" in comparison to its main rival, CJAY-FM. Its stance against the band has gained national attention on several occasions, including its endorsement of a petition for the NFL to not have the band perform at halftime during an American Thanksgiving game in Detroit in 2011.[2][3][4][5]

On December 21, 2012, in honour of the alleged Mayan apocalypse, CFEX stunted by playing R.E.M.'s song "It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" all day long, interspersed with "Get to Know a Mayan" and "Apocalypse Survival Tips" segments.[6] CFEX repeated this stunt on the night of November 8, 2016 and the day of November 9, 2016, in response to Donald Trump winning the U.S. presidential election.{{citation needed|date=January 2018}}
