In 1985, CFSX moved from 910 to its current frequency, 870. ^[1]

In September 2016, CFSX was shut down by Newcap Radio without any notice. The station is now a full-time repeater of CFCB in Corner Brook , changing its identity to VOCM . Before then, CFSX operated as a daytime station, and served as a nighttime repeater to CFCB.
