CFGT was founded by Lionel Morin [3] and went on the air in October 1953. The station initially had a power of 1,000 watts; it was authorized to increase its power in 1974. CFGT had to close for extended periods in 1982 and 1994 due to financial problems.[4]
An application to move to FM on 97.7 MHz with a power of 100,000 watts was denied in 1993.[5] In March 2007, it became known that the station planned to apply again to move to FM on 97.7 MHz with a power of 50,000 watts.[6] [7] An application to convert to the FM band on 97.7 MHz with a power of 50,000 watts was denied once again on September 11, 2008.
