History
On December 13, 2010, the Haliburton Broadcasting Group applied to operate a new FM radio station in Kemptville at 97.5 MHz. This application received CRTC approval on April 21, 2011.
The station is Kemptville's first local commercial FM radio station. The station launched on February 27, 2012. The station was branded as Star 97.5.
It is also the third English-language AC station serving the National Capital Region; the others are CJMJ-FM and CJWL-FM.
