CFZZ-FM

CFZZ-FM is a French language Canadian radio station located in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec, approximately 50 kilometres southeast of Montreal.

Owned and operated by Astral Media, it broadcasts on 104.1 MHz with an effective radiated power of 1,350 watts (class B) using an omnidirectional antenna.

The station has an oldies format since June 2005 (it previously had an adult contemporary format) and is part of the Boom FM network.

Originally known as CHRS, the station operated on 1090 kHz as one of the very few daytime-only stations in Canada, and thanks to errors from BBM), it once managed in the 1970s a third-place in ratings during evenings -- a time when the station was not even on the air. The station added nighttime service in 1988 when it moved to 1040 kHz, and switched to FM (and adopted its current call sign) in 1992. While the 1090 kHz frequency remains unused, the 1040 kHz frequency is now used by CJMS in Saint-Constant, just south of Montreal.
