The station was acquired from Radio Express by Torres Media Valleyfield in 2015.[1]
The station music is a contemporary hits format and is branded as 103.1 MAX FM. The General Manager is Roxanne Guerin and she also hosts the morning show «Rox Guérin l'matin»
Known as CFLV until 1991, the station was on the AM band 1370 kHz from 1961 to 1994, at which point the station moved to FM band on 102.9 MHz.[2] However, strong interference by CITE-FM-1 in Sherbrooke, which broadcasts on the neighbouring frequency of 102.7 MHz from Mount Orford (approximately 170 kilometres, 105 miles east) forced a change to the current 103.1 MHz very shortly after the initial move to FM.[3]
