The station was launched in 1987, originally relaying the signal from CFJP-TV in Montreal. On June 1, 2007, the CRTC approved a joint application by TQS and Télé Inter-Rives to convert the TQS station in Rimouski, CJPC-TV, from a transmitter of CFJP Montreal to a transmitter of CFTF-TV in Rivière-du-Loup. As part of the deal, a news bureau would be built in Rimouski, and a limited amount of local programming would be added on CJPC.
