History

Beautiful Music

The station

Radiomédia" network (now "Corus Québec

").

CKCH-FM, and later CIMF-FM, had a

soft adult contemporary

in 1990 and the station was renamed CIMF Rock-Détente.

Rock Détente

In 2004, Astral Media revamped the Rock Détente network with a new logo. This resulted in CIMF Rock-Détente being renamed to simply 94,9 RockDétente. As such, the station no longer publicly uses its call sign (although the call letters were brought back as station identification in 2011).

Rouge FM

On August 18, 2011, at 4 p.m., the station ended its 21-year run with the "RockDétente" branding. All "RockDétente" stations, including CIMF, rebranded as Rouge FM.

The last song under "RockDétente" was "Pour que tu m'aimes encore" by Celine Dion, followed by a tribute of the branding. The first song under "Rouge" was "I Gotta Feeling" by Black Eyed Peas.

On October 31, 2000, Télémédia Radio was denied a licence to add a new FM transmitter to operate on 107.7 MHz at Hawkesbury, Ontario.^[2]

Since 2001, the station operated a relay transmitter in Hawkesbury, Ontario, approximately 100 kilometres east of Ottawa/Gatineau. This results from a deal between Telemedia (which then owned CIMF-FM) and

class A).^[3]
