The station was licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission in 1988. The cooperative had previously produced some community programming for broadcast on CJBC's Penetanguishene rebroadcaster.

In 1999, the station was given approval to move to its current frequency, along with a power increase to 4,493 watts.

In May 2019, CFRH-FM changed its branding from "Vague FM" (Wave FM) back to using its "CFRH" call letters. The station is a member of the Alliance des radios communautaires du Canada.
