In 1995, CJVR moved to 750 AM, where it has remained to the present.

On May 30, 2008, CJVR-FM parent company Radio CJVR was granted its application by the CRTC to operate a radio station in Chilliwack, British Columbia at 89.5 FM. The Radio CJVR application beat out competing applications by Golden West Broadcasting, Vista Media Group, Newcap Broadcasting and Frank Torres (who applied on behalf of an as-yet unincorporated company).
