CJVA-FM is a French-language Canadian radio station broadcasting in Caraquet, New Brunswick, at 94.1 MHz (FM). CJVA-FM is owned and operated by Radio Acadie, Limitée.

History

On July 18, 1973, Alphee Michaud, on behalf of a company to be incorporated, was awarded a licence for a new AM station at Caraquet. The station officially began broadcasting on its original frequency at 810 kHz in 1977.

In 1995, the station began receiving programs from CKLE-FM Bathurst, New Brunswick, part-time.[1]

In 2014, Radio Acadie submitted an application to convert CJVA to 94.1 MHz. This application received approval by the CRTC on February 13, 2015.[2][3]

CJVA shut down its old AM 810 transmitter on August 1, 2016. Programming continued on CJVA-FM 94.1.
