The station began as a radio club transmitting as CHOR, an AM carrier current station on 670 kHz in 1975 on the University of Ottawa campus. By 1984 CHOR was known as CFUO which started cable-casting and could be heard on closed circuit in the university's student residences. It was subsequently awarded a broadcast license by the CRTC, and began broadcasting at 89.1 FM on May 31, 1991. The station is bilingual, broadcasting in both of Canada's official languages; English and French. CHUO's programming is composed of 35% English programming, 35% French programming, and 10% in third languages. CHUO's programming is free form including the genres of jazz, indie rock, electronic, classical alongside many radio programs produced BY and FOR the Black community including Ici L'Afrique, Afrika Revisited, Black on Black, Rockers, Caribbean Flavour, Bouyon Racin, Men Kontré, FREESTYLE, and more. CHUO 89.1 FM launched a morning drive-time hip-hop show in June 2019. In 2023, the station lost a referendum on defunding its student levy. Notables
