CKPE was an easy listening station until June 1, 1981 when it switched to a country format. CKPE stayed with this format until June 1998 when it switched formats with sister station CJCB, becoming a Hot AC station and CJCB going country. It was Hot AC until summer 2011 when it changed its format to adult contemporary. The station's branding at the time was The Cape 94.9. On December 26, 2019, the station changed its format to classic hits and rebranded as 94.9 The Wave. The station's format is similar to that of sister stations CHNS-FM in Halifax, CFQM-FM in Moncton and CJYC-FM in Saint John. Prior to the format change, the station played Christmas music since the beginning of December. External links
