The station began broadcasting on December 23 1957, beginning its schedule at 6pm, as a Christmas present to the community of Swift Current. From start to finish, Bill and Juile Forst and their family (via Swift Current Telecasting Co. Ltd.) owned and operated the station, and was an private affilate of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Towards the end of its life, the station also carried programming from Global, similar to CKRD.
In 2002, the station and its transmitters were sold to the CBC, and on May 31, CJFB-TV signed off for the final time with a look back at the station's history. The next day, the station became a translator for Regina's CBRT, providing a full CBC schedule to the area. CITV provides Global programming via local cable systems.
