CHGO-FM is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts at 104.3 FM in Val-d'Or, Quebec. The station airs an active rock format branded as Capitale Rock. It also shares much of its programming with CJGO in La Sarre, although the two stations each produce their own separate morning programs.

The radio station originally began as CKVD 900, [1] an AM station that was part of the Abitibi AM network since 1939 with CHAD Amos (now defunct)[2] and CKRN Rouyn-Noranda (now CHOA-FM),[3] until it was converted to FM in 1999.[4] CHGO also had a rebroadcaster in Rouyn-Noranda, CHGO-FM-1 95.7 FM.[5] On August 6, 2010, the CRTC granted that repeater to switch to CJGO.[6]

CHGO and CJGO are owned by RNC Media.
