CHFO was a French language Canadian radio station located at 1350 kHz (AM) in Gatineau, Quebec. The station had a community radio format.

History

On November 29, 2017, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approved an application by Radio Communautaire Francophone et Francophile de l’Outaouais to operate a new French-language community radio station in Gatineau, Quebec. The new station would operate on the AM band on 1350 kHz with a daytime transmitter power of 1,000 watts and a nighttime transmitter power of 180 watts. ^[1]

In February 2018, the station began on-air testing on 1350 kHz and officially signed on in the spring. In 2019, the station left the air permanently.

Notes

AM 1350 in Gatineau was previously used by CIRA-5, a rebroadcaster of CIRA-FM in Montreal from 2012 until it left the air in 2015.
