CJEU is a Canadian radio station licensed to broadcast a French language children's radio format at AM 1670 in Gatineau, Quebec. The license is held by Fondation Radio-Enfant, a non-profit educational agency. CJEU’s transmitter is located off of Chem des Terres in Musee, Quebec.
Fondation Radio-Enfant was originally granted a short-term license, with the call sign CIRC, on 96.5 FM for the duration of the Rendez-vous de la Francophonie in 2002[1] and in 2003, Fondation Radio-Enfant was also granted to operate at 1250 kHz on the AM dial (formerly used by CBOF), however, due to possible technical issues, the station never went on the air.[2] The 96.5 frequency in Gatineau was later reassigned to CFTX-FM, and Fondation Radio-Enfant was granted a permanent AM license in early 2007 to operate at 1670 kHz.[3]
Initially, CJEU played music mainly in French and sung by children.[4] Most of the music that is played, however, was not professionally recorded.[citation needed]
In late 2010, the station was renamed as Radio Oxygène, expanding its programming to include programs for teenagers and young adults. Programming for younger listeners was renamed Radio-Enfant-Ado. At one point, the station was known as Radio Jeunesse.
In 2015, the CRTC approved an ownership change for CJEU from Fondation Radio Enfant du Canada to Radio Communautaire Enfant-Ado de Gatineau-Ottawa.[5]
On August 15, 2019, the CRTC issued a short-term license renewal for CJEU from September 1, 2019 to August 31, 2023. [6] The short-term renewal would allow for an earlier review of the licensee’s compliance with regulatory requirements. The broadcasting status of CJEU is currently unknown. [7]
