CFNJ 99.1 FM

CFNJ 99.1 FM is Joliette’s independent nonprofit French-language community radio station for Lanaudière, with current music, regional news and on-demand programming.

CFNJ 99.1 FM is an independent, nonprofit French-language community radio station serving Lanaudière from Joliette, Quebec. Its official mission calls it the region’s only independent nonprofit regional station and commits it to local and regional information, active community participation, public accessibility and Lanaudière’s economic, social and cultural development. The station’s history traces Radio Nord-Joli’s nonprofit origin to 1981 and CFNJ-FM’s launch on October 7, 1985. It records a Joliette studio move in 2023, a Joliette headquarters move in 2024 and a new primary transmitter entering service in September 2025 to expand coverage across northern Lanaudière. The current Contact page also places CFNJ in Joliette, correcting the discovery lead’s former Saint-Gabriel location. The live official site carries current music, regional news, on-demand broadcasts and podcasts. Its recent-titles archive records continuous music airplay through July 27, 2026, while the current schedule is explicitly dated July 6–12, 2026. These first-party surfaces establish substantive current multi-genre broadcasting. The Contact page provides a generic organization inbox, telephones, fax and postal details plus a named privacy contact, but does not explicitly invite artist, release, track, press-release, review or editorial submissions. MusicList therefore publishes no contact or submission route and infers no fee or outcome. Named staff, presenters and privacy officer, every email address, telephone, fax and postal detail, generic contact, advertising, membership, contests, radio bingo, employment and social routes, private messages, files, submissions, responses, correspondence, listener, member, advertiser, contestant and payment data remain excluded.
