CJPN-FM is a French-language radio station in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, broadcasting at 90.5 FM.

Contents

The station signed on August 22, 1997, from its studios at Le Centre Communautaire Sainte-Anne (Fredericton). [3] [1] It had been preceded by several pop-up stations in 1992, 1994, [2] and 1996. [4]

CJPN broadcasts to a population of 13,360 French speakers in Fredericton. [5]

CJPN airs live programming from its own studios, as well as francophone music from Quebec, Acadia and other regions.

In August 2015, CJPN announced that, after following a new strategic plan, revenues had increased substantially. As part of the changes, the company developed a strategic alliance with Miramichi's CKMA-FM and Saint John's CHQC-FM.

The station is a member of the Alliance des radios communautaires du Canada.

History

CJPN Radio, FM 90.5, [6] allows Francophones in the provincial capital region to hear French music and local news. The idea of putting a community radio in place came in October 1990, when a first information meeting was organized to determine the interest of setting up a French-language radio station in Fredericton. Finally, on August 22, 1997, CJPN broadcast for the first time on the FM 90.5 frequency with a transmitter of about 2,000 watts. [7] [8] [9]

Since 2015, Radio Fredericton inc. CJPN works in partnership with Francophone community radio stations in Saint-Jean, CHQC-FM and Miramichi French-language community radio station CKMA-FM. This is the first resource sharing project implemented in three independent French-language community radio stations in Canada. These three radio stations share the general management, the production department, their technician, the accounting department and some of their broadcasts. [10]

On December 19, 2022, CJPN rebranded to C90 and is now owned by C médias. On the same day, CHQC in Saint John, CKRH in Halifax, and CKMA in Miramichi also adopted the "C" branding from C médias.
