CKVC, the precursor to CFUV was on air from 1965 until 1970 and had a broadcast range that included the Student Union Building as well as two student residence buildings. The campus radio returned in 1981 after the UVic Campus Radio Club formed. CFUV became Victoria's second FM radio station on December 17 1984, broadcasting at 49.4 watts on 105.1 FM.

In 1987 CFUV aimed to increase its transmission power to over 2000 watts. Approval was granted by the the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) in September 1988; in January 1989, CFUV started broadcasting on 101.9 FM at 2290 watts. Concurrently, CFUV arranged cable broadcast all over Vancouver Island (in most areas cable 104.3 FM).

CFUV is a not-for-profit, non-commercial, volunteer-based radio station. It is a member of the National Campus and Community Radio Association, and hosted the National Compus and Community Radio Conference in 1998. CFUV is funded mainly by a levy on undergraduate studies at the University of Victoria, as well as by donations.

The mandate of the radio station is "to provide listeners with an alternative to commercial radio fare". Its programming is composed of spoken word (news, public affairs, poetry), music (rock, hip-hop, jazz, folk), and multicultural programs (in Finnish, Italian, etc.).
