Montmagny was previously served by CFEL-FM, from 1987 until that station's move to Lévis in 2009, and by CKBM 1490, which closed due to a bankruptcy in 1983. [7]

On August 20, 2012, CIQI changed formats to hot adult contemporary.

On February 6, 2013, the CRTC approved Radio Montmagny inc.'s application to add a new FM transmitter at Saint-Fabien-de-Penet which will operate at 92.5 MHz (channel 223B) with an average effective radiated power (ERP) of 12,600 watts (maximum ERP of 17,500 watts with an effective height of antenna above average terrain of 123.1 meters).
