History

CJPN Radio, FM 90.5, 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. Since 2015, Radio Fredericton inc. CJPN works in partnership with Francophone community radio stations in Saint-Jean,

and Miramichi French-language community radio station
