CJLA-FM

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CJLA-FM is a French-language Canadian radio station located in Lachute, Quebec.

Owned and operated by Radio Nord, it broadcasts on 104.9 MHz using an omnidirectional antenna with an effective radiated power of 3,000 watts (class A).

The station has an adult contemporary format and identifies itself as "Couleur FM". While other Radio Nord stations use the same identification, they do not constitute a network. Part of CJLA-FM's programming is simulcast on co-owned CHPR-FM in neighbouring Hawkesbury, Ontario.

Originally known as CJLA when it was on the AM band on 630 kHz, the station moved to the FM band in February 1986, being one of the very first AM stations permitted to do in Canada. As an AM station, CJLA was one of the few stations authorized to increase its power at night, from 500 watts to 1,000 watts. The station switched its call sign from CJLA-FM to CJGO-FM in 2000, but quickly reverted to CJLA-FM the following year; the reason for these changes is unknown.
