History

In 2018, a group from the region led by Michel Lambert filed for a new radio station to serve the Portneuf regional county municipality. The CRTC deemed that there was room for one new commercial outlet there, and since no other party had filed, it approved his application for licence on October 25, 2019. [1]

Per the application, the station first broadcast an adult contemporary format with hits from 1965 to today, along with two public affairs programs and a specialty country music show on the weekends. [2] The station slightly changed ownership and its format in 2021, turning into a mix of classic rock and classic pop.

On May 10, 2022, the CRTC denied an application by 11733630 Canada Inc. to operate a new FM transmitter at 103.7 MHz in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, Quebec. [3]

On September 22, 2023, the CRTC approved an application by 11733630 Canada Inc. to add a new FM transmitter at Neuville, Quebec on the frequency of 99.5 MHz (channel 258A1) with a maximum effective radiated power (ERP) of 140 watts, an average ERP of 87 watts, a directional antenna, and an effective height of the antenna above average terrain (EHAAT) of 82.4 metres. The new transmitter, CHOC-FM-1 at 99.5 MHz in Neuville, would rebroadcast the programming of CHOC-FM 88.7 Saint-Raymond de Portneuf. [4]

Notes

The CHOC callsign was used at a former radio station in Saint-Rémi, Quebec from 1998 until 2018.
