CKLD-FM is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting a soft adult contemporary format at 105.5 FM in Thetford Mines, Quebec. It shares the programming of sister station CFDA-FM in Victoriaville.
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 on February 12, 1950 by Radio Mégantic. Broadcasting on 1230 AM, it was a private affiliate of the Radio-Canada network. François Labbé became president of the company in 1965.
The station moved to 1330 AM in 1976, and disaffiliated from Radio-Canada in 1979. The station moved to its current frequency in 1999.[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/1998/DB98-472.HTM Decision CRTC 98-472]
In April 2014, Montreal-based Attraction Radio (now Arsenal Media) announced plans to acquire all of Réseau des Appalaches' stations, including CKLD-FM and CJLP-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.]
