Owned by Stingray Digital Group Inc, the station currently broadcasts a country music format branded as 103.9 KIXX Country. CHVO first went on the air in 1980 as an AM affiliate of VOCM, although VOCM can be received in the Conception Bay North region without much difficulty, while the CHVO signal reaches parts of the St. John's area. Originally broadcasting at 850 AM, the station moved to 560 in 1990, which was CHCM's old frequency.[1][2] In August 2006, Newcap [3] received CRTC approval to move CHVO to 103.9 FM. The application stated that CHVO would maintain its current country music format. On July 4, 2007, CHVO was given approval by the CRTC to move to FM.[4] The relaunched CHVO is the first FM country music station serving the Avalon Peninsula since sister station CKIX-FM in St. John's flipped to contemporary hits in 2002. It no longer carries VOCM network programming. The station used to cover the St. John's metro area. CHVO began test broadcasts on its new frequency, distinct from the broadcasts at 560 kHz, in late December 2007. The station's official launch was January 7, 2008. As per custom, the station was initially allowed to simulcast on AM until July 7 (six months after the launch). This was later extended until October due to technical issues with the FM signal which presently remain unresolved.[5] In 2016 the station added a rebroadcaster in Clarenville, operating on 97.1 FM with the call sign CKLN-FM. This transmitter airs some separate commercials targeted to the Clarenville area, but originates no programming independently of CHVO.
