The station would be built by the Cégep de Trois-Rivières, and be financed by the sale of air time to the various educational organizations.
On August 26, 1986, CFCQ-FM was not allowed by the CRTC to change the conditions of its license, because it would have become a more community-oriented station with less emphasis on educational programs.
On March 20, 1987, the CRTC denied CFCQ-FM's renewal for various reasons, including having been dark for 18 months, failing to meet its licensing conditions (including not meeting music and spoken word quotas), and relocating its studios without CRTC authorisation.
The renewal was also opposed by area stations CKSM, CHLN and CJTR, over accusations that CFCQ-FM was not meeting its license's conditions.
