The station was originally launched in 1943, broadcasting at 1450 AM in Nobel, with the call sign CFPS.

In 1976, the station was reacquired by local owners, who in turn sold it to Telemedia in 1980.

In 1964, the station dropped its CBC affiliation, and was sold to a consortium that included Maclean-Hunter.

The former CFOR call letters now belong to an FM radio station in Maniwaki, Quebec.
