CFDA-FM is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting an adult contemporary format at 101.9 FM in Victoriaville, Quebec. It shares the programming of sister station CKLD-FM in Thetford Mines.
The stations air the same programming at all times, although both stations produce a portion of the shared broadcast schedule from separate studios. Their CHR sister station CFJO-FM also produces programming in both cities, although it serves the region from a single 100-kilowatt transmitter.
History
The station was launched by Radio Victoriaville on October 19, 1951, airing on 1380 AM. It was sold to François Labbé's Radio-Mégantic in 1970, becoming a Radio-Canada affiliate as part of the Réseau des Appalaches from 1972 to 1979.
The station subsequently converted to its current FM frequency in 1999.[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/1998/DB98-473.HTM Decision CRTC 98-47]
In April 2014, Montreal-based Attraction Radio (now Arsenal Media) announced plans to acquire all of Réseau des Appalaches' stations, including CFDA-FM; the decision is currently awaiting CRTC approval.[http://blog.fagstein.com/2014/05/27/ckrs-rythme-fm/ Fagstein: "CKRS-FM Saguenay wants to become a Rythme FM station", May 27, 2014.]
Pierre Bruneau, the current anchor of TVA's daytime newscasts, worked for CFDA early in his career.
