CFJO-FM (branded as O97,3) is a

radio station in Thetford Mines, Quebec, which broadcasts on 97.3 FM with an effective radiated power of 100,000 watts

. Its motto is "Le Meilleur de la musique", which means "The Best of Music".

The station has studios in both Thetford Mines and

soft adult contemporary sister stations CKLD-FM and CFDA-FM. Both cities are served by the same transmitter, and both studios produce part of the station's broadcast schedule — however, Thetford Mines is considered the station's primary city of license.^[1]

History

The station first received

media mogul François Labbé, who already owned many radio stations consolidated as the Réseau des Appalaches. It moved to its current 97.3 frequency in 1997.^[5]

The first song played on the radio for the year 2000 was "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the Buggles.

In April 2014, Montreal-based Attraction Radio announced plans to acquire all of Réseau des Appalaches' stations, including CFJO-FM; the decision is currently awaiting CRTC approval.^[6]
