History of WKND Québec FM 91.9
The station hit the air in august 2003. It was also a part of Cogeco’s adult contemporary Rythme FM network of stations that covered a large portion of Quebec until May 2012. Cogeco, the station’s former owner, announced its intention to purchase Corus Quebec’s radio stations on April 30, 2010. The CRTC approved the sale on December 17, 2010, with the condition that CJEC FM is sold to a different party by the end of 2011.
At midnight, the owner removed the adult contemporary programming and Rythme FM branding from CJEC FM on May 21, 2012. It started referring to itself as Le 91,9 FM Québec and started playing a variety of hot adult contemporary songs without using any personalities. On June 20, 2012, at 6 PM, the station relaunched with the call letters WKND 91.9 (called on-air as Weekend Radio 91.9). Adding several alternative rock artists to the playlist, the station has switched from adult contemporary programming to modern adult contemporary.
