CHFX's studios are located at 90 Lovett Lake Court, while its transmitter is located on Washmill Lake Drive in Clayton Park.

The station has been on the air since November 1947, beginning as a simulcast of its sister station CHNS when it was an AM station. It gained the callsign CHFX and switched to country music at the beginning of the 1970s and picked up the branding of Hot Country 101.9 CHFX in the 80s, until the 90s when it simply shifted to Country 101 before settling on FX101.9 as branding in the mid 2000s.
