CKLE-FM is a French-language Canadian radio station broadcasting in Bathurst, New Brunswick at 92.9 MHz. The station broadcasts a mix of adult contemporary, oldies and country with some news/talk programming.

History

On July 20, 1987, Radio de la Baie Ltée received CRTC approval to operate a new french-language FM radio station at 97.1 MHz, with a rebroadcaster in Dalhousie at 102.7 MHz.[1] On February 29, 1988, Radio de la Baie Ltée received CRTC approval to operate a new french-language FM radio station at 104.9 MHz in Bathurst.[2] On August 5, 1988, Dalhousie's rebroadcaster received approval to change frequencies to 100.7 MHz.[3]

On September 1, 1989, the CRTC approved the application by Radio de la Baie Ltée to change CKLE-FM's frequency to 92.9 MHz.[4]

On March 29, 1990, both CKLE and CKLE-FM-1 began broadcasting. It is uncertain if the CKLE-FM-1 rebroadcaster was ever implemented. In 1995, CKLE began simulcasting programs on CJVA in Caraquet.[5]

CKLE-FM had a rebroadcaster located in Caraquet on 810 kHz with the call letters CJVA. It began broadcasting on September 15, 1977. In 2016, CJVA moved to 94.1 MHz.
