However, the station was rebranded on December 26, 2005, as California 103, a soft adult contemporary/smooth jazz format.

On March 3, 2008, at 3:00 pm, the station switched to its current classic hits format branded as XL103.

The station's license was originally awarded to Telemedia; prior to its launch, Telemedia's Alberta stations were sold to Newcap Radio, with Standard Broadcasting as minority shareholder until 2007.
