History
CIGO started out as an AM station on 1410 kHz. Founded by local businessman Gérald “Gerry” Doucet, it first went on the air on October 29, 1975. In November 1999, CIGO received CRTC approval to convert from the AM band to the FM band. In 2000, CIGO switched over to the FM band and the AM signal was shut down permanently shortly afterward. As an AM station, it was known as “1410 CIGO”.
On June 8, 2010, MacEachern Broadcasting Limited (CIGO-FM) applied to increase their ERP (effective radiated power) from 19,000 to 40,000 watts and received CRTC approval on September 17, 2010.
