The station was first launched in 1967 as the first French language Radio-Canada station west of Ontario. Its studios and offices are in the CBC Regional Broadcast Centre on Hamilton Street in Downtown Vancouver, while its transmitter is located atop Mount Seymour.

CBUF also serves as the Première outlet for the Yukon, by way of a locally owned repeater in Whitehorse.
