Originally known as CHRM when the station was on the AM band on 1290 kHz, the station moved to FM in 2001.[2] CHRM went on the air on April 13, 1975 and was the first local private radio service in Matane since CKBL (now CBGA-FM) was bought by Radio-Canada in 1972.
The relay in Les Méchins, which was added as part of the conversion to FM, was originally on 104.1 MHz;[3] it was moved to 91.3 MHz in 2005.[4]
