Originally known as CFVM when it was on 1220 kHz, the station moved to FM in April 2003 after 23 years on AM. [1] The new FM signal also replaced CFVM-1, a short-lived relay in nearby Causapscal which was operational from 1997 to 2003 on 1450 kHz; [2] that facility was previously used by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation as a relay of what was then CBGA 1250, and is now CBGA-FM 102.1, in Matane.

On August 18, 2011, at 4:00 p.m. EDT, all "RockDétente" stations, including CFVM, rebranded as Rouge FM . The last song under "RockDétente" was "Pour que tu m'aimes encore" by Celine Dion, followed by a tribute of the branding. The first song under "Rouge" was "I Gotta Feeling" by Black Eyed Peas.

On February 8, 2024, Bell announced a restructuring that included the sale of 45 of its 103 radio stations to seven buyers, subject to approval by the CRTC, including CFVM, which is to be sold to Arsenal Media. [3]
