until the 2000s, when the station opened its studios.
In April 2000, CIKX began airing programming separate from CJCJ. Studios and offices are located at 399 Broadway Boulevard in
Grand Falls. On June 7, 2000, Telemedia Radio Atlantic Ltd. received CRTC approval to add a transmitter for CIKX-FM at
Plaster Rock using the facilities of the CJCJ rebroadcasting transmitter, CJCJ-2. As a result of the change, the CJCJ rebroadcasters CJCJ-1 and CJCJ-2 were deleted.
On April 12, 2007, Astral Media Radio Atlantic Inc. received approval to operate a transmitter for CIKX at
Plaster Rock (CIKX-FM-1) operating on 91.7 MHz with an effective radiated power of 50 watts. The new transmitter would replace the existing AM transmitter at that location. The AM transmitter was inefficient, worn-out and difficult to maintain. The AM transmitter site was in a low-lying area. The new FM transmitter would be located in an area with an elevation for line-of-sight coverage.
On February 4, 2008, Astral Media Radio Atlantic Inc. received approval to change the frequency of CIKX-FM-1 to 88.3 MHz.
As part of a mass format reorganization by Bell Media, on May 18, 2021, CIKX flipped to
adult hits, and adopted the ''Bounce'' branding.
