Owned and operated by Radio Rimouski,[1] part of Groupe Radio Simard, it broadcasts on 93.3 MHz with an effective radiated power of 18,197 watts using an omnidirectional antenna (class C1).

The station had a hot adult contemporary format under the FM 93 branding; although some programming from Cogeco-owned CHMP-FM and CKOI-FM in Montreal was aired. It is now a relay for the programming of CHMP-FM, with the exception of local shows airing in the morning, lunch and afternoon segments.[2]

The station received CRTC approval in 2006 [3] and went on the air on October 9, 2007 at 7 a.m.; part of its programming comes from the Cogeco Diffusion network. The station's original call sign (as assigned in November 2006) was CIEL-FM-6, but it was changed to CFYX-FM in May 2007.[4]

On December 11, 2008, the station was authorized by the CRTC to add a rebroadcaster on 103.1 FM in Rivière-du-Loup.[5]

On July 6, 2011, the station applied to add a new FM transmitter at Amqui. The proposed transmitter in Amqui was to be operated at 92.7 MHz; the application was withdrawn on September 23, 2011.[6][7]
