Station history

[edit]

On February 14, 1974, Radio Sept-Îles Inc. (owner of CKCN Sept-Îles) received authorization to operate a new AM station in Port-Cartier. Two years later, on October 4, 1976, CIPC made its official arrival on the AM band at the frequency 710 kHz. The station which was owned by Radio Sept-Îles inc. passed into the hands of Radio Port-Cartier inc. in August 1982.

On September 24, 1993, the CRTC approved Radio Port-Cartier's application to convert CIPC from the AM band at 710 kHz to the FM band at 99.1 MHz.[1] CIPC made the transition to the FM band at the frequency 99.1 MHz in 1994. The station adopted a new format in 2009 focused on contemporary hits as 99.1 FM La Radioactive.

The station is authorised to broadcast at a maximum ERP (effective radiated power) of 45,016 watts; on June 8, 2010, the CRTC denied CIPC-FM's application to increase their maximum ERP to 100,000 watts, following opposition from competing stations CKCN-FM in Sept-Îles and CHLC-FM in Baie-Comeau.[2]

Attraction Radio acquires CKCN-FM in Sept-Îles and CIPC-FM in Port-Cartier in the summer of 2016. [3]

On August 30, 2017, it was announced that La Radioactive 99.1 will make way for a new musical format with a new branding by joining the “O” network. It will therefore become O 99.1. This change took place on September 8 of the same year. [4]
