History edit
On November 29, 2017, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approved an application by Radio Communautaire Francophone et Francophile de l’Outaouais to operate a new French-language community radio station in Gatineau, Quebec. The new station would operate on the AM band on 1350 kHz with a daytime transmitter power of 1,000 watts and a nighttime transmitter power of 180 watts. [1]
In February 2018, the station began on-air testing on 1350 kHz and officially signed on in the spring. In 2019, the station left the air permanently.
Notes edit
AM 1350 in Gatineau was previously used by CIRA-5, a rebroadcaster of CIRA-FM in Montreal from 2012 until it left the air in 2015.
