History

On July 20, 1987, Radio de la Baie Ltée received CRTC approval to operate a new french-language FM radio station at 97.1 MHz, with a rebroadcaster in Dalhousie at 102.7 MHz. [1] On February 29, 1988, Radio de la Baie Ltée received CRTC approval to operate a new french-language FM radio station at 104.9 MHz in Bathurst. [2] On August 5, 1988, Dalhousie's rebroadcaster received approval to change frequencies from 102.7 MHz to 100.7 MHz. [3]

On September 1, 1989, the CRTC approved the application by Radio de la Baie Ltée to change CKLE-FM's frequency from 104.9 MHz to 92.9 MHz. [4]

On March 29, 1990, both CKLE-FM and CKLE-FM-1 began broadcasting. It is uncertain if the CKLE-FM-1 rebroadcaster was ever implemented. In 1995, CKLE-FM began simulcasting programs on CJVA in Caraquet.[5]
