The CFNW in Gros Morne National Park was knocked off the air due to an ice and wind storm in late 2011 which damaged the tower. When the transmitter site was constructed in 1971, the area was not a national park. As of 2012 the signal in this area was still off the air. On October 3, 2012, Newcap Broadcasting applied to convert CFNW to the FM band. On January 25, 2013, the CRTC approved Newcap's application to convert CFNW to the FM band. CFNW now operates at 96.7 MHz.
