The station was staffed by members of the United States Army, with programming furnished by the Special Services.

By December 1945, a temporary landline connection to CJCA in Edmonton allowed for a relay of the CBC's Christmas Day programming that year.

[8] The official transfer of control took place on November 10, 1958,[1] with CFWH becoming the first station within the CBC's new Northern Service.

As part of the takeover, a direct link—via the CN Telegraph system—to the Trans-Canada Network was established in order for CFWH to obtain CBC programming.

[10] In April 1966, the studios were moved once more, this time three blocks south to a new downtown office building on the corner of Third Avenue and Elliott Street, where they remain to this day.

Although Whitehorse itself is served by a rebroadcaster of the Ici Radio-Canada Première station in Vancouver, that network does not originate any French programming in the Yukon.

On June 22, 2017, the CRTC approved the application by Noah Gehmair, in his capacity as Manager, Technology Infrastructure, Government of Yukon.

[21] Manager, Technology Infrastructure, Government of Yukon reapplied to operate an FM transmitter at 103.1 MHz in Mount Jubilee on November 13, 2019.
