CFVM-FM

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CFVM-FM is a French-language Canadian radio station located in Amqui, Quebec.

Owned and operated by Astral Media, it broadcasts on 99.9 MHz with an effective radiated power of 23,800 watts (class C1) using an omnidirectional antenna.

The station has an oldies format since late 2005 (it previously had an adult contemporary format) and is part of the Boom FM network.

Originally known as CFVM when it was on the AM band on 1220 kHz, the station moved to the FM band in April 2003 after 23 years on AM. The new FM signal also replaced CFVM-1, a short-lived relay in nearby Causapscal which was operational from 1997 to 2003 on 1450 kHz; that facility was previously used by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation as a relay of what was then CBGA 1250, and is now CBGA-FM 102.1, in Matane.
