History

On July 18, 1973, Dr. Alphee Michaud on behalf of a company to be incorporated was awarded a licence for a new AM station at Caraquet. The station officially began broadcasting on its original frequency at 810 kHz in 1977.

In 1995, the station began receiving programs from CKLE-FM Bathurst, New Brunswick part-time.[1]

In 2014, Radio Acadie submitted an application to convert CJVA to 94.1 MHz. This application received approval by the CRTC on February 13, 2015.[2][3]

CJVA shutdown its old AM 810 transmitter on August 1, 2016. Programming would continue on CJVA-FM 94.1.
