Owned by Blackburn Radio, the station received CRTC approval on February 2, 2009.[1]

The station has no relationship with former French-language radio station in Mont-Laurier, Quebec, CKLO-FM (now CFLO-FM).

On October 15, 2010, Blackburn applied to increase CKLO-FM's effective radiated power from 4,000 to 12,600 watts (directional antenna with a maximum ERP from 7,000 to 40,000 watts), by increasing the effective height of antenna above average terrain from 106.5 to 150 meters and by changing the transmitter site. This application was approved on January 12, 2011.[2] In addition to London, the station's coverage area targets Ailsa Craig, St. Thomas, and Strathroy; it also has a slight null to the east of London, to avoid co-channel interference from CHFI in Toronto.

In February 2015, CKLO launched an all-new morning show; Classic Rock Mornings featuring Blair Henatyzen and Mindy Williams. Other current shows include mid days with Kate Wright, afternoons with Ryan Valdron, evenings with Dan Wylie and weekends with Dave.
