Owned by Evanov Communications, the station broadcasts a soft adult contemporary format.
However, commencement of broadcasting was delayed when Evanov sought CRTC approval of technical changes, which would allow the station to broadcast instead at 1,420 watts (maximum ERP 2,650 watts), on a directional antenna pattern with an EHAAT of 94.5 metres (310'), from a new site 5.3 km (3¼ miles) southeast of the original location.
The change of the parameters was due to its original site, on a tower owned by Bell Mobility, becoming unsuitable, both technically and economically.
However, it was found to be received way further than its main transmission area, in Saint-Jérôme in the Laurentians the signal is well heard in Stereo.
[10] On May 3, 2021, CHSV rebranded as Lite 106.7; the format is described as an "evolution" of the previous "Jewel" branding, but with a larger focus on music from the 1980's in order to improve its appeal to demographics favoured by advertisers.
