CFLM-FM is a French-language Canadian radio station located in La Tuque, Quebec.
Owned and operated by Radio Haute-Mauricie, it broadcasts on 97.1 MHz with power of 18,230 watts (maximum ERP of 32,000 watts) as a class B station.
The station has an adult contemporary format and identifies itself as O 97.1.
Formerly an affiliate of the Première Chaîne radio network, the station was disaffiliated in 2002.[1] The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation concurrently launched a rebroadcaster of CBF-FM-8 from Trois-Rivières to maintain Première Chaîne service in the region.
History
[edit]The station was originally launched on October 3, 1959 by Radio La Tuque Ltée. It had operated at 1240 kHz with 1,000 watts.
Switch to FM
[edit]On May 18, 2012, Radio Haute Mauricie applied to the CRTC to convert CFLM to FM. On September 28, 2012, the CRTC granted the conversion.[2]
In late 2012, CFLM began on-air testing at 97.1 MHz.
The station was acquired by Arsenal Media in 2016.[3]
As O 97.1
[edit]In May 2019, the station changed from its adult contemporary to a hot adult contemporary/CHR format with its current branding O 97.1.
