The station is co-owned with CJLU-FM in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia and CIOG-FM in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island.

On August 24, 2000, the International Harvesters for Christ Evangelistic Association Inc. received approval from the CRTC to operate on the frequency 105.9 MHz.[1]

On August 22, 2007, the CRTC approved an application for CITA to move from 105.9 FM to 105.1 FM, and to increase its signal strength to 880 watts.[2] This change was prompted by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's decision to move CBA from the AM band to 106.1 on the FM band, now known as CBAM-FM.

On June 30, 2017, the CRTC denied an application by International Harvesters for Christ Evangelistic Association Inc. to operate an English-language commercial FM specialty (Christian music) radio station at 104.9 MHz in Saint John, New Brunswick.[3]
