History

The station was originally launched in 2002 as CHNR-FM, a nostalgia station owned by CKVN Radiolink System Inc. It was acquired by Newcap Radio in 2005. The station was branded as Cafe 100.7 and adopted an adult album alternative format on December 26 of that year with the call sign CKFE-FM. On December 26, 2006, the station became CHNK-FM and was rebranded as Hank 100.7 playing a classic country format.

In September 2007, CHNK-FM successfully applied to the CRTC for a power increase, citing reception difficulties in the market. On December 6, the station was granted the power increase, taking 100.7 FM from 1,300 watts to an average effective radiated power of 60,200 watts.

On July 6, 2010 the station became K-Rock 100.7 and switched to a blues leaning classic rock format retaining its CHNK call sign. By 2011, CHNK-FM began shifting towards a mainstream rock direction by adding newer live versions of classic rock songs.

In May 2011, Newcap announced that it was selling CHNK-FM and CKJS to Evanov Communications, pending CRTC approval. On October 24, 2011, the CRTC approved Dufferin Communications (aka: Evanov Communications) to acquire CHNK-FM and its sister station CKJS.

On November 26, 2011, CHNK-FM became CFJL-FM and was branded as "The Lounge 100.7- Winnipeg's Christmas Music Station", playing non-stop Christmas music. The CFJL-FM call sign was previously carried by sister station CHWE-FM, which received its new call sign the same day.

On December 26, 2011, CFJL-FM changed their plan to be branded as "The Lounge", and instead re-branded their station to 100.7 The Breeze, with a soft adult contemporary/adult standards format. Like all AC stations owned by Evanov, it's not a reporter to the Mediabase & Nielsen BDS Canadian AC panels.
