CBVE-FM is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts the programming of the CBC Radio One network at 104.7 FM in Quebec City. The station's main transmitter is located at Mount Bélair. Its studios are co-located with its francophone sister stations (CBV-FM, CBVX-FM and CBVT-DT) on rue St-Jean in Quebec City.

CBVE-FM is the originating station for all CBC Radio One transmitters in Quebec outside of Montreal and the Outaouais. Together, they are known as the Quebec Community Network, with a special mandate to provide service to the province's anglophone minority.

Although it is a semi-satellite of CBME-FM in Montreal, most of the station's operations are in Quebec City except for master control, which is based at the Canadian Broadcasting Centre in Toronto.

History

The station was launched in 1976. Prior to its launch, CBC Radio programming was aired on private affiliate CFOM 1340 on the AM band. Following CFOM's shutdown as a commercial station in late 1975, the CBC directly acquired the station and kept it in operation until the FM signal was launched.

The station was originally a rebroadcaster of CBM in Montreal (now CBME). In 1994, however, it was granted a separate license. At the same time, all but one of CBM's rebroadcasters were transferred to CBVE.^[1]

The call sign CBME was formerly used for a low-power AM repeater in La Tuque, Quebec which changed to CBVE-1.

Local programming

The station's local programs are Quebec AM, hosted by Susan Campbell, in the mornings and Breakaway, hosted by Jacquie Czernin, in the afternoons. The rest of the station's schedule is a simulcast of CBME.

An hour of Quebec AM is also heard on CBC North radio stations in the Nunavik region of northern Quebec.

On September 11, 2008, the CRTC approved the CBC's application to operate a temporary low-power FM mono transmitter at Lac-Mégantic. It would broadcast on 104.1 MHz with an effective radiated power of 50 watts for a period of three months. The CBC indicated the transmitter would rebroadcast CBVE-FM and ensure the continuity of the national Radio One service to Lac-Megantic while the municipality conducts renovations on the site of the low-power AM transmitter CBMO 1240 kHz, which was currently unserviceable.^[2] It is unknown if the transmitter(s) is currently operating as CBMO and CBMO-FM is not listed in the Industry Canada database.

¹On January 4, 2013, the CBC filed and application to the CRTC to convert CBMJ Murdochville from 750 AM to 99.5 FM.^[3] The application was approved on May 8, 2013.^[4]

²On October 25, 2013, the CRTC approved the CBC's application to decrease the power of CBVG-FM Gaspé from 2,160 to 1,730 watts (decreasing the maximum ERP from 4,250 to 2,610 watts) and by decreasing its EHAAT from 409.5 to 384.5 metres.^[5]

On March 19, 2015, the CBC submitted an application to add an FM transmitter in Malartic, CBMN-FM, which would broadcast at 101.1 MHz at 26,480 watts with a maximum ERP of 50,000 watts. In the CRTC's July 3, 2015 release, CBMN-FM's ERP reads 22,800 watts. CBMN-FM would replace two existing low-powered CBC AM transmitters, CBMN AM 1230 Malarctic and CBML AM 570 Val-d'Or. The new transmitter may also replace CBMM AM 540 in Senneterre, but only pending further assessment following the sign-on of CBMN-FM.^[6]^[7] The CRTC approved the CBC's application on July 3, 2015.^[8]

On February 20, 1992, the CRTC approved the CBC's application to change CBME's (now CBVE-1) AM frequency from 990 kHz to 830 kHz in La Tuque.^[9] CBME's change of frequency (from 990 kHz to 830 kHz) was necessary to eliminate nighttime interference received from CKIS Montréal which also operated on the 990 kHz frequency. On April 4, 2016, the CBC filed and application to the CRTC to convert CBVE-1 La Tuque from 830 AM to 101.9 FM.^[10] The CRTC approved the CBC's application on June 16, 2016 to move CBVE-1 from AM 830 kHz to operate at FM 101.9 MHz (channel 270A) with an average effective radiated power (ERP) of 265 watts (maximum ERP of 598 watts) and an effective height of antenna above average terrain of 106.2 metres.^[11] According to Canadian Radio News, CBVE-1 moved to 101.9 FM in August 2016. ^[12] A new call sign for CBVE-1 has yet to be announced.

On September 23, 2016, the CRTC approved the CBC's application to change the frequency of CBMA-FM Rouyn-Noranda from 99.9 MHz to 91.9 MHz by increasing the effective radiated power from 1,000 to 2,712 watts and decrease the effective height of antenna above average terrain from 145 to 110.2 metres. ^[13]
