CBF started to broadcast from Maison Radio-Canada in November 1971. Commercial advertising on the station was eliminated in 1974 except for Montreal Canadiens NHL hockey games. (CBF was the Canadiens' radio flagship since its opening in 1937 and would remain so until 1997.)
CBF-FM began broadcasting in stereo after a swap of frequencies with co-owned CBM-FM (CBC English FM) and an increase in power. CBF-FM moved from 95.1 MHz to 100.7 MHz. Effective radiated power increased from 24,600 watts to 100,000 watts.

In 1947, CBM-FM first signed on at 100.7 MHz. [1] In its early years, it simulcast the programming of co-owned CBM. French language CBF-FM also officially went on the air that year, at 95.1 MHz, although it had done experimental broadcasts for several years leading up to its sign-on.
The station first went on the air in the early 1980s as a rebroadcaster of CBF in Montreal. For many years, Radio-Canada programming had aired on privately owned affiliate CHLT. However, in 1979, CHLT received permission to disaffiliate from Radio-Canada as soon as Radio-Canada could set up its own station there. [1]

In Montreal, the CBC launches CBM-FM and CBF-FM in 1947, as well as a few private stations, such as CKVL-FM (now CKOI) and CFCF-FM. A few years later, the AM band was saturated, no longer allowing the addition of new stations.
