CJPM-DT is the TVA owned and operated station in Saguenay, Quebec. Its studios and transmitter are located in the former city of Chicoutimi.
The station was launched on April 14, 1963. Its owners soon realized that they didn't have the revenue to challenge Radio-Canada affiliate CKRS-TV (now CKTV-TV) on their own. To obtain better programming, CJPM began sharing programs with the biggest privately owned francophone station in Canada, CFTM-TV in Montreal. This was the beginning of TVA, though the network wasn't formally created until 1971 with CJPM as one of its three charter affiliates, the others being CFTM and Quebec City's CFCM-TV.
CJPM's original owners sold the station to Télé-Métropole, owner of CFTM, in 1982. It became a TVA O&O when Télé-Métropole bought majority control of the network in 1990. Since then it has been basically a semi-satellite of CFTM, except for newscasts.
CJPM-DT signed on its digital signal on August 29, 2011 from a temporary antenna at Mont Sainte-Claire.
