History

Prior to the station's launch in 1978, Radio-Canada programming was carried on private affiliate CFBR.^[1] The CRTC decision authorizing the launch of CBON-FM in fact encouraged, but did not direct, Radio-Canada to retain an AM frequency for its talk radio network, and to reserve CBON-FM for its music network.^[2] However, the station launched in 1978 as an affiliate of the talk network after the CBC was unable to negotiate an agreement with F. Baxter Ricard to directly acquire CFBR.

Espace musique service was not available in the city until the launch of CBBX-FM in 2001, although from 1984 to 1991 the CBC held an unused license to launch that station.^[3]

Programming

The station's regional morning program is Le Train du matin ("Morning Train"), hosted by Yves Dubuc,^[4] and its regional afternoon program is Boréal Express ("Northern Express"), hosted by Maude Rivard.^[5] On Saturday mornings, the station airs the provincewide morning program Grands Lacs Café ("Great Lakes Coffee"), which consists of two distinct segments; the first, airing from 7 to 9 a.m., sees distinct regional programs hosted by Éric Robitaille in Sudbury and Line Boily in Toronto, while the second, airing from 9 to 11 a.m., sees Robitaille and Boily cohosting provincewide.^[6]
