History
CJPN Radio, FM 90.5,[https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/2007/db2007-150.htm CRTC Decision] allows Francophones in the provincial capital region to hear French music and local news. The idea of putting a community radio in place came in October 1990, when a first information meeting was organized to determine the interest of setting up a French-language radio station in Fredericton. Finally, on August 22, 1997, CJPN broadcast for the first time on the FM 90.5 frequency with a transmitter of about 2,000 watts.[https://www.anboutique.ca/catalogue/boutique/livres-francophones/presence-saffirme/ (Livre)Une présence qui s'affirme : La communauté acadienne et francophone de Fredericton, Nouveau-Brunswick par Greg Allain et Maurice Basque][https://www.erudit.org/fr/revues/fa/2005-n19-fa1813267/1005321ar/ (Livre)Une présence qui s'affirme : La communauté acadienne et francophone de Fredericton, Nouveau-Brunswick par Greg Allain et Maurice Basque][https://cjpn-chqc-ckma.com/en/cjpn-2/ Official website of CJPN, CHQC and CKMA]
Since 2015, Radio Fredericton inc. CJPN works in partnership with Francophone community radio stations in Saint-Jean, CHQC-FM and Miramichi French-language community radio station CKMA-FM. This is the first resource sharing project implemented in three independent French-language community radio stations in Canada. These three radio stations share the general management, the production department, their technician, the accounting department and some of their broadcasts.[https://cjpn-chqc-ckma.com/en/cjpn-2/ Site Official website of CJPN, CHQC and CKMA]
On December 19, 2022, CJPN rebranded to C90 and is now owned by C médias. On the same day, CHQC in Saint John, CKRH in Halifax, and CKMA in Miramichi also adopted the "C" branding from C médias.
