The radio was founded by Radio Nord when permission were given to the company to set up an FM using a transmitter power and frequency of 51,000 w and 96.5 MHz. It was announced that the FM and its satellite (at Lithium Mines) would broadcast the programming of Radio-Canada AM network in the region until CBC has one of its own in the area. Initially granted frequency of 97.3 for Lithium Mines facility was changed upon the request of licensee to 103.5 MHz and wattage was increased to 55,300 w in 1979 by CRTC. CHLM-FM hit the waves in 1979 and that followed the launch of CHLM-FM-1 in 1980. A repeater at Ville-Marie in Sep 1989 was denied by Canadian Commission.

CBC in Sep 2004 received permission to acquire the main Rouyn-Noranda station and its transmitter at Lithium Mines.
