History of CFJO FM 97.3

In 1988, the CRTC initially approved the station. On July 15, 1989, media tycoon François Labbé, who previously owned several radio stations consolidated as the Réseau des Appalaches, debuted it on 103.3 FM. In 1997, it changed to the 97.3 MHz frequency it uses now. “Video Killed the Radio Star” by the artist Buggles was the first song to be broadcast on the radio in the year 2000. Attraction Radio, a Montreal-based company, announced plans to buy all of Réseau des Appalaches’ stations in April 2014; the CRTC has not yet approved the deal.
