History

]
The station was originally licensed by the
CRTC
in 1987 to Eastern Broadcasting, the owner of
CFJR
.
[1]
Eastern sold both stations to St. Lawrence Broadcasting before the FM station was launched. St. Lawrence launched the FM station in mid-1988 as
classic rock
CHXL
. The former CHXL brandings were
XL-103
and
The River
.
In 1996, both Brockville stations, as well as sister stations
CKLC
and
CFLY
in
Kingston
, were sold to
CHUM Limited
. On January 1, 2001, CHUM changed CHXL's call sign and format, adopted the current
CJPT
calls and began airing a
hot adult contemporary
format as
103.7 The Point
. On July 14,
2003
, CJPT flipped to
adult hits
and rebranded as
103.7
Bob FM
.
CHUM was acquired by
CTVglobemedia
in
2007
, and since CTVglobemedia's
2011
breakup, now owned by
Bell Media
.
As part of a mass format reorganization by Bell Media, on May 18, 2021, CJPT adopted the
Bounce
branding.

On February 8, 2024, Bell announced a restructuring that included the sale of 45 of its 103 radio stations to seven buyers, subject to approval by the CRTC, including CJPT, which is to be sold to
My Broadcasting Corporation
.
