CKGS-FM is a French-language Canadian radio station located in Saguenay, Quebec. The station serves the borough of La Baie.
Owned and operated by 9202-1617 Québec Inc., it broadcasts on 105.5 MHz with an effective radiated power of 6,000 watts (class A). The station has a hot adult contemporary format and is currently largely automated.[1] It is better known to be the home of controversial host Louis Champagne since November 2010.
The station was originally licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission in March 2007.[2] However, because the applicant had requested the 99.9 FM frequency, which was adjacent to CKAJ-FM's newly-licensed rebroadcaster on 99.7, the license was made conditional on the applicant submitting a new application for the use of a different frequency.[2] CKGS-FM has later submitted an application to use 105.5 MHz, which was approved by the CRTC in August 2008.[3]
On August 2, 2010, CKGS-FM applied to the CRTC to add a transmitter at Chicoutimi which would operate at 105.9 MHz. This application was denied on December 13, 2010. [4]
