Many "Radio 93" on-air personalities who went on to bigger markets include singer–songwriter Barry Boyd, who had a Canadian hit record, "Wishin'".

Other famous CJCA DJs included Mike Marshall, who later crossed the street to CHED and then became Frank Brodie at the legendary CKLW in Windsor, Ontario.

On weekdays, George Payne did afternoons; Barry Boyd 4:00–8:00; Lorne Thompson (who was later an instructor and department head at NAIT) 8:00 to midnight; and Tom Fulton (who came from the Quesnel/Williams Lake station) the A&W all night show.

[citation needed] The city was shocked when he died at such a young age, a few days after having had dental surgery.

Because of the station's popularity the DJs spent a lot of time doing remote broadcasts at car dealerships and stores.

Lorne Thompson helped a number young guys get started in radio, including Terry David Mulligan who was then an RCMP Officer patrolling the Edmonton–Calgary highway.

Doug Thompson, an army brat and still at Queen E high school, started as an operator and later went on to a long career behind the scenes at CHUM in Toronto.

For many years the CJCA broadcast studios were located on the 4th floor of the Birks building in downtown Edmonton.

In the mid- to late-1980s CJCA changed to an "all talk" format and while it was successful for a short while the station eventually failed and went off the air on December 1, 1993.
