History
On July 18, 1973, Alphee Michaud, on behalf of a company to be incorporated, was awarded a licence for a new AM station at Caraquet. The station officially began broadcasting on its original frequency at 810 kHz in 1977.
In 1995, the station began receiving programs from CKLE-FM Bathurst, New Brunswick, part-time.[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/1995/DB95-362.HTM Decision CRTC 95-362] Authorization to rebroadcast CKLE-FM's programs on CJVA with CJVA's licence renewal, CRTC, June 28, 1995
In 2014, Radio Acadie submitted an application to convert CJVA to 94.1 MHz.
