CBV-FM is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts the programming of Radio-Canada's Première network in Quebec City. The station broadcasts at 106.3 FM from Mount Bélair.
The station was first launched in 1934 as AM 950 CRCK, Quebec City's second-oldest radio station. It was an affiliate of the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission, airing programming in both English and French. It became a part of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation in 1936. It adopted the callsign CBV in 1938, becoming the second station in Radio-Canada's French radio network. In 1941, CBV moved to 980 kHz.
In 1974, CBVX-FM, broadcasting Radio-Canada's FM network, was launched. It was initially known as CBV-FM.
On July 4, 1997, the CBC received CRTC approval to convert CBV to 106.3 FM. After the move to FM, the AM signal was discontinued.[1] It took over the CBV-FM callsign, and the existing CBV-FM became CBVX-FM.
The station's current local programs are Première heure, in the mornings from 5:30 a.m. to 9 a.m., and Radio-Canada cet après-midi in the afternoons, 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. The early morning program from 5 a.m. to 5:30 a.m., Info matin, originates from CBF-FM Montreal and is also heard in Ottawa.
