1994
HB Communications Inc. was awarded a licence for a community FM station at Hudson Bay on August 15. The station would broadcast with an effective radiated power of 38.2 watts on a frequency of 98.1 MHz.  It would broadcast four hours of locally-produced programming each week consisting of educational programs, local talent, community meetings as well as special and sporting events. The remaining 122 hours of programming broadcast each week between 6:00 a.m. and midnight would originate with CHFI-FM Toronto.  HB Communications was owned by Dan and Sherry Brann.

CFMQ-FM signed on the air October 26.

2007
On August 10 the CRTC renewed the licence for CFMQ-FM to August 31, 2014. The Commission noted that the composition of the board of directors of the station did not meet the requirements set out in the Community radio policy. The Commission expected the board of directors of CFMQ-FM to include more members of the community at large in order to reflect the needs and interests of the community that the station was licensed to serve.
