Initially the transmitter was located on the Skylon Tower next to Niagara Falls, but it was later moved to a new site in Thorold.

The station operated under a series of short-term special events licenses, each initially covering either the summer tourist season or Niagara Falls' annual Winter Festival of Lights.

[18] On September 19, 2013, CJED dropped its adult hits format and branding and began stunting with Christmas music.

On December 8, 2014, the CRTC denied an application by Vista Broadcast Group to amend the license of its sister station CFLZ-FM.

It cited the company for being in non-compliance with various licensing conditions including deploying CJED-FM as a full-time rebroadcast transmitter without prior approval of the commission.

[19][20] Both stations went silent shortly thereafter and returned to air on December 19, 2014, apparently continuing to utilize CJED-FM for simulcasting.
