The station, which broadcast non-directionally at 300 watts, may cause interference problems in some areas between it and a co-channel station in Montreal, also 92.5, CKBE-FM. These interference problems were addressed in the station's application with the CRTC, which approved the application on February 25, 2013.[1]

In June 2013, the station was assigned the call letters CHRC-FM.[2] The call sign was previously used by a now-defunct radio station in Quebec City.

CHRC-FM began broadcasting on October 15, 2013.[3] The station became one of "The Jewel" branded stations, with the slogan "Lite & Refreshing" now using "Lite Favourites." The station plays a familiar mix of pop, rock songs from the 70s, 80s, 90s and early 2000s. The morning show is hosted by popular announcer, Derrick Scott, who has been in the industry for close to 30 years across Ontario, and is an advocate for local businesses, and "Shopping - Dining Local." Scott has been recognized by many local charities and businesses for his efforts in promoting local businesses, and countless charities over the years. The morning show is also simulcasted on Jewel 107.7 Hawkesbury. During the midday hours, it airs the John Tesh Radio Show. In the evening, from 7 to 11pm, the station broadcasts an adult standards program known as The Lounge, hosted by one of several on-air personalities from Jewel stations, playing "Music With Style", often with content from the Great American Songbook. From 11pm to midnight, the station airs instrumental beautiful music pieces under the branding The International Concert Series.[4]
