Originally owned by Hugh Sibbald, Lloyd Moffat, and E. A. Rawlinson, the station first signed on to 1080 kHz at 8:00 p.m. on March 3, 1954, from studios on the corner of 107 Street and 100 Avenue in Downtown Edmonton.

The following year after Frank left the station, Bob went on the air as his replacement, beginning a near 50-year career in broadcasting.

[6] Throughout the 2010s, CHED was consistently in the top 3 of the most-listened-to radio stations in the Edmonton market, with a listener share reaching as high as 11.5 in 2016.

[7] As of February 28, 2021, CHED is the 4th-most-listened-to radio station in the Edmonton market according to a PPM data report released by Numeris.

[9] Corus stated at the time that the simulcast was an interim measure and that the company would ultimately only operate one news-talk AM station in Edmonton, but did not specify its plans for the signal.

[10] On August 28, 2024, Corus announced that the CHED intellectual unit, including its call letters and format, would move permanently to 880 AM, effective October 9, citing that facility's improved coverage.

[11] Corus intends to then return the 630 AM licence to the CRTC for cancellation, and sell the land on which that transmitter facility currently sits.

[18][19] The station also broadcasts Oilers Now, a daily talk show hosted by the team's radio colour analyst Bob Stauffer.
