CHNC-FM is a French-language Canadian radio station located in New Carlisle, Quebec, Canada.
Owned and operated by Coopérative des travailleurs CHNC, it broadcasts on 107.1 MHz using a directional antenna with an average effective radiated power of 4,100 watts and a peak effective radiated power of 6,500 watts (class B); it was previously heard on 610 kHz, with a daytime power of 10,000 watts and a nighttime power of 5,000 watts as a class B station, using a directional antenna with slightly different daytime and nighttime directional patterns in order to protect various other stations on that frequency.
The station has an adult contemporary music format, although some news/talk programs from CHMP-FM in Montreal are now being aired. It is an affiliate of the Cogeco network.
CHNC went on the air as an AM station on December 23, 1933, and it was originally an affiliate of the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission from 1933 to 1936 when it became an affiliate of Radio Canada.
CHNC's programming is also heard on CHGM-FM, which is located in Gaspé, it broadcasts on 99.3 MHz with an average effective radiated power of 257 watts and a peak effective radiated power of 468 watts (class A). Local programming from CHGM ceased completely in 1986.
On March 3, 2008, Radio CHNC ltée has received approval by the CRTC to convert the AM transmitters to the FM band and include addition of FM transmitters in Carleton, Chandler and Percé, Quebec. As of late 2008, the new FM signals began on December 23, 2008.
