CBV is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts the programming of Radio-Canada's La Première Chaîne network in Quebec City. The station broadcasts at 106.3 FM.

The station was first launched in 1934 as AM 950 CRCK, an affiliate of the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission. It adopted the callsign CBV in 1938, when Radio-Canada's French radio network was launched.

In 1974, CBVX-FM, broadcasting Radio-Canada's FM network, was launched. It was initially known as CBV-FM.

CBV moved to the FM band in 1997. It took over the CBV-FM callsign, and the existing CBV-FM became CBVX.
