History

CJPN Radio, FM 90.5,[5] allows Francophones in the provincial capital region to hear French music and local news. The idea of putting a community radio in place came in October 1990, when a first information meeting was organized to determine the interest of setting up a French-language radio station in Fredericton. Finally, on August 22, 1997, CJPN broadcast for the first time on the FM 90.5 frequency with a transmitter of about 2,000 watts.[6][7][8]

Since 2015, Radio Fredericton inc. CJPN works in partnership with Francophone community radio stations in Saint-Jean, CHQC-FM and Miramichi French-language community radio station CKMA-FM. This is the first resource sharing project implemented in three independent French-language community radio stations in Canada. These three radio stations share the general management, the production department, their technician, the accounting department and some of their broadcasts.[9]

On December 19, 2022, CJPN rebranded to C90 and is now owned by C médias. On the same day, CHQC in Saint John, CKRH in Halifax, and CKMA in Miramichi also adopted the "C" branding from C médias.
