'''CIEL-FM''' is a [[French language|French-language]] [[Canada|Canadian]] [[radio station]] located in [[Rivière-du-Loup]], [[Quebec]].
 
Owned and operated by Radio CJFP (1986) ltée (part of the [[Groupe Radio Simard]]), it broadcasts on 103.7 [[MegahertzHertz|MHz]] with an [[effective radiated power]] of 60,000 [[watt]]s using an [[omnidirectional antenna]] ([[List of broadcast station classes|class C]]). The station has an [[adult contemporary]] [[radio format|format]] under the ''CIEL'' branding. However, the station has some [[oldies]] programming, during weekends.
 
The station was originally known as '''CJFP''' and went on the air on April 13, 1947 <ref name="Larouche, Marc 2001">Larouche, Marc. "CJFP devient CIEL-FM", Le Soleil, May 7, 2001, pg. A-4.</ref> as an [[AM broadcasting|AM station]] station broadcasting on 1400 [[Hertz|kHz]]. From 1984 until the station's move to [[FM broadcasting|FM]] in 1994, it was one of the few AM stations authorized to increase its power at night, due to [[NARBA]] amendments which authorized all stations on "graveyard" ([[List of broadcast station classes|class C]]) channels to quadruple their nighttime power. CJFP actually became the most powerful station in all of [[North America]] among those stations, as it was authorized to broadcast with 10,000 watts during the day and 20,000 watts (directional) at night;<ref>[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/1984/DB84-1031.htm Decision CRTC 84-1031]</ref> however, this did not actually result in good coverage at night due to massive co-channel interference.<ref name="Decision CRTC 94-736">[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/1994/DB94-736.HTM Decision CRTC 94-736]</ref> The FM signal went on the air on December 15, 1994<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20091026073330/http://geocities.com/xkit/canam.htm Former Canadian AM stations], by Kit Sage</ref> and the AM signal went off the air in June 1995.
 
Because the station already had an FM [[sister station]], namely [[CIBM-FM]] (at the time, [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission]] (CRTC) regulations generally forbade broadcasters to operate more than one AM station and one FM station per market), CJFP-FM originally operated under a condition of licence which required at least half of the programming to be "spoken-word programming" (i.e., [[talk radio|talk]]).<ref name="Decision CRTC 94-736"/> As such, CJFP-FM became the first privately owned French-language FM station to broadcast mainly talk programming; most of that talk programming came from the [[Radiomédia]] network. The station abandoned most of its talk programming, adopting a full-time [[adult contemporary]] format, and changed its [[call sign]] to CIEL-FM, effective September 1, 2001.<ref name="Larouche, Marc 2001" /> That call sign was used, until August 2000, on a Montreal-area station now known as [[CHMP-FM]], which coincidentally now has a talk format.
