On May 21, 2010, the CRTC approved UFV Campus and Community Radio Society licence to move CIVL-FM from 88.5 MHz to 101.7 MHz.^[2] CIVL-FM signed on the air at its current 101.7 MHz frequency in September 2010. On January 17, 2012, the CRTC approved CIVL-FM's authorized contours by increasing its average effective radiated power (ERP) from 220 to 520 watts (maximum ERP from 550 to 880 watts), by decreasing the effective height of antenna above average terrain from 121 to 104 metres (directional antenna) and by relocating its transmitter site.^[3]
