History

The station received its approval in 2005.

tourist information radio station, CFDT in Ottawa, which began operations in the early 1990s ^[3] and was also used in 2002 for a special event radio programming at 96.5 MHz in Gatineau with the callsign CIRC.^[4]

Since the station signed on the air in 2006, the station had gone through a number of formats and brandings.

It changed to an alternative rock format as Tag Radio X, in 2009. On July 26, 2010, CFTX flipped to mainstream rock branded as Capitale Rock.^[5]

On September 22, 2016, CFTX changed its format to adult hits as Pop 96.5.

On August 12, 2019, CFTX flipped back to Top 40/CHR but retained the "Pop" branding.

In June 2021, the station rebranded as Vibe 96.5; the station shared its branding and airstaff with

sports talk as BPM Sports, networked with Montreal sister station CKLX-FM. Due to CRTC license restrictions requiring at least 50% of their weekly programming to be devoted to music, the stations only carry BPM Sports' weekday and weekend morning lineups, do not carry its play-by-play rights (such as CF Montréal), and otherwise continue to carry music programming.^[7]^[8]^[6]
