CJME was founded and signed on the air on November 25, 1959, by a group of businessmen led by J. Marsh Ellis, a former radio salesman.

Its original format was easy listening, but the station was not successful until it began playing top 40 music in 1963.

In 1967, CJME was purchased by the Rawlinson family, owners of CKBI radio and CKBI-TV in Prince Albert.

On September 29, 2009, CJME applied to add new FM rebroadcasters to extend its coverage into south Saskatchewan.

[4][5][6][7] Most of CJME's weekday lineup is shared with its Saskatoon sister station CKOM, including The Evan Bray Show, Saskatchewan Afternoon with Justin Blackwell, and sports talk show The Green Zone with Jamie Nye and Drew Remenda on afternoon drive.
