History of Wow FM 96.5
After RNC Media bought CHOI in Quebec City in 2006, the station briefly switched to current rock programming under the name Radio X. However, it later adopted the name and programming of Couleur FM and changed its name to Planète in 2008. Later, sister stations CHGO FM and CJGO FM again carried the Radio X identity. Additionally, FM has repeat transmitters in La Sarre (103.5) and Val-d’Or (103.5). (103.9).
RNC applied in 1996 to turn CHOA’s retransmitter in Val-d’Or into an originating station, but it was rejected since the market could not support a new commercial station. It was announced in December 2014 that effective on March 9, 2015, CHOA FM would join the Rythme FM network of Cogeco. It was RNC’s second Rythme FM station; the first was CHLX FM Gatineau. On August 7, 2017, Radio discontinued the “Rhythme” brand and changed its name to Wow FM. CHLX had undergone a similar rebrand.
