CBJX-FM

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CBJX-FM is a French-language Canadian radio station located in Saguenay, Quebec (originally Chicoutimi before forced municipal mergers).

Owned and operated by the (government-owned) Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (French : Société Radio-Canada), it broadcasts on 100.9 MHz with an effective radiated power of 50,000 watts (class B) using an omnidirectional antenna.

The station has an ad-free music format featuring mostly classical music, jazz, world music and also other genres. It is part of the Espace Musique network (previously known, before September 2004, as "La Chaîne culturelle" when the format was more focused on classical music), which operates across Canada.

The station's call sign used to be CBJ-FM until 1999. At that time, that call sign started to be used by its sister station CBJ as it moved from AM to the FM band; that station got the call sign CBJ-FM, and the old CBJ-FM thus had to change its own call sign.

CBJX-FM also has a rebroadcast transmitter in Dolbeau-Mistassini at 90.9 FM.
