Owned and operated by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (French: Société Radio-Canada), CBOF-FM has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 84,000 watts as a class C1 station, using an omnidirectional antenna located off Chemin Dunlop in Camp Fortune, Quebec.

The early morning program from 5 a.m. to 5:30 a.m., Info matin, originates from CBF-FM Montreal and is also heard in Quebec City.

Before then, Radio-Canada relied on privately owned AM 970 CKCH in nearby Hull, Quebec, as well as the 50,000-watt signal of Montreal's AM 690 CBF, to serve Ottawa's francophones.

Its sister station on 102.5, on the Radio-Canada Musique network, which used the CBOF-FM call sign before that date, is now known as CBOX-FM.

On January 27, 2025, the CRTC approved the CBC's application to change the following technichal information for CBOF-FM-9 at 88.7 MHz in L’Isle-aux-Allumettes (Chapeau, Quebec) by changing the class of the transmitter from A to C1, increasing the maximum effective radiated power (ERP) from 2,300 to 75,148 watts, increasing the average ERP from 2,300 to 30,124 watts, replacing the existing circular non-directional antenna with a new elliptical directional antenna and increasing the effective height of the antenna above average terrain (EHAAT) from 91.5 to 93.9 metres, and to relocate the transmitter to another site in Pembroke, Ontario and will remain on 88.7 MHz.
