CKOF-FM (104.7 MHz) is a French-language commercial radio station in Gatineau, Quebec, serving the National Capital Region including Ottawa.
The station was signed on the air on June 3, 1968[2] by Raymond Crepeau, Marcel Joyal, Robert Campeau and Gerard Moreau with the presence of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, the then-prime minister of Canada (and father of future prime minister Justin Trudeau) as part of the Radiomutuel network.
The 104.7 MHz frequency was also used in Ottawa by 3077457 Nova Scotia Limited which was approved in 2005 to operate a tourist information station.
[9] In early 2010, the local morning news show featuring Louis-Philippe Brûlé (previously before for several years by Daniel Séguin) was removed in favor of a provincial newscast broadcast from Montreal by Paul Arcand.
[11][12] On June 20, 2012, Cogeco announced that CKOF-FM, along with CKOY-FM and CKOB-FM, will revert to their talk formats on August 20, 2012, all but dismantling the CKOI network.
