CHLR was defunct French-language private radio station in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, which broadcast at 1380 kHz on the AM band from 1981 to 1985.
In 1980, Rufino Landry on behalf of a company to be incorporated (would be known as Radio-Aboiteaux ltée), received approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to operate a new French-language AM radio station at Moncton.
Also the same year, a competing application by Edward J. McGrath (English, 1400 kHz, 10,000 watts) was denied on the grounds, since Moncton could not support two new stations.
In 1986, Radio-Aboiteaux's original shareholders, Rufino Landry and Alie LeBouthillier, along with four new investors applied to for a licence to operate a new English-language AM station offering a contemporary music service to listeners between 12 and 49 years of age.
In arriving at this determination, the Commission took into account Radio-Aboiteaux's previous unsuccessful attempt to establish a French-language radio service and did not consider that a further period of experimentation was warranted under the circumstances.
