The station was launched in 1955 by Rideau Broadcasting, at 1070 AM, and played a country music format. It began broadcasting in a daytime-only capacity On October 22, 1955.^[2] In 1958, the station's frequency changed to 630 AM.

In 1969, CJET-FM was also launched as a stereo simulcast of the AM signal. That station now uses the callsign CKBY.

In 1984, the AM and FM stations were sold to Harvey Glatt's CHEZ-FM Inc., which was subsequently acquired by Rogers Communications, the stations' current owner, in 1999. Rogers converted CJET to FM the following year at 92.3 MHz as Country 92,^[3] and the station adopted an adult hits format with the Jack FM branding in 2004. In September 2015, the station changed its format to variety hits but kept the JACK-FM branding. The station's format will feature hits from the late 1960s through today.
