- This article is about the radio station. For the television station formerly known as CHSJ-TV, see CBAT-TV.
CHSJ-FM is a radio station at 94.1 MHz on the FM dial in Saint John, New Brunswick. The station plays a country music format under the Country 94 branding. CHSJ is owned by Acadia Broadcasting, a subsidiary of Ocean Capital Investments.
Originally known as CFBO, CHSJ's first broadcast was at AM 890 in 1927, under the ownership of C.A. Munro. The current call letters were adopted in 1933, and the Irving family purchased the station in 1945. CHSJ changed its AM frequency several times: to 1210 in 1933, to 1120 in 1934, to 1150 in 1945, and to 700 in 1985. CHSJ was a CBC Trans-Canada Network affiliate until 1964, when CBD went on the air. The country format was adopted in the 1970s.
CHSJ-TV was the Irvings' companion CBC-affiliated television station. Its first broadcast was in 1954, and added several transmitters across New Brunswick. The Irvings sold CHSJ-TV (now CBAT-TV) to the CBC in 1994.
In 1998, CHSJ moved to the FM dial, following the lead of several other AM stations across Canada.
