History
CFGL was founded in September 1968 by Jean-Pierre Coallier and Roland Saucier. It originally was powered at 100,000 watts but from a tower in Laval only 400 feet in height. It began as a French-language
soft adult contemporary
music in 1992.
In 1999, it switched to a French mainstream
radio station in North America.[4] It held that distinction until its sister station, French talk outlet CHMP-FM
, overtook it in Fall 2011.
On May 17, 2017, CFGL-FM began broadcasting in HD Radio, offering a digital radio simulcast of its FM feed on its digital sideband, with room for potential expansion of subchannels in the future.
By 2019, the station returned to
soft adult contemporary
