The station broadcasts a Top 40/CHR format branded on-air as 101.3 Virgin Radio, and is owned by Bell Media.

CJCH's studios and offices are located at the intersection of Russell and Agricola streets in Halifax (behind TV sister station CJCH-DT).

In 1945, CJCH was authorized to increase output power and move to a lower frequency on the AM dial (920 kHz).

On June 22, 2007, the approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) of the acquisition of CHUM Ltd. by CTVglobemedia has again brought the stations under common ownership.

In 1987, CJCH flipped to an oldies-based adult contemporary format, as it focused on listeners who had grown up with the station but were now over 40.

In May 1995, it flipped to a hybrid talk/oldies format; by the end of that year, the talk programming took over the entire schedule, and was branded as News/Talk Radio 920/CJCH.

[3] On August 27, 2002, The Team network was shut down and CJCH flipped to an oldies format, becoming AM 920/CJCH - Yesterday's Favourites.

Its oldies format was unique in that it ran a mid-morning call-in program called The Hotline with host Rick Howe.
