CJLM (as it was originally known) opened in April 1960 as an AM station on 1350 kHz, under the ownership of Radio-Richelieu Ltee. as a sister station of CJSO in Sorel. Radio-Richlieu would later sell off CJLM to another broadcaster, Radio de Lanaudière Inc.

Under later owner Diffusion Laurentides Inc., CJLM would relocate to 103.5 FM in 1996,[1] but would soon be sold off in 1997 to "Coopérative de radiodiffusion MF 103,5 de Lanaudière", a cooperative that was created to buy the station after the bankruptcy of Diffusion Laurentides.

In 2013, Attraction Radio announced plans to acquire CJLM-FM from the cooperative; the decision was given CRTC approval on 30 July 2014.[2][3][4]
