CHYQ-FM is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts at 97.1 FM in West Nipissing, Ontario.

[2] Prior to the launch of CHYQ, the region's francophone audience was served solely by CFSF-FM, which aired a bilingual format featuring programming in both English and French.

A local non-profit group previously held short-term licenses to broadcast special events programming in the region on 93.5 FM with the call sign CFDN, but never launched a permanent station.

On November 15, 2013, Le5 received approval from the CRTC to extend the time limit to January 6, 2015, to commence the operation of the French-language commercial FM station in Nipissing, Ontario.

On July 16, 2014, the CRTC approved Le5's application to change the authorized contours of CHYQ‑FM by changing the radiation pattern of the antenna from directional to non-directional, by decreasing the average effective radiated power (ERP) of the transmitter from 47,100 to 6,500 watts (maximum ERP from 77,600 to 6,500 watts) and by decreasing the effective height of antenna above average terrain from 136.2 to 45.7 meters.
