History
editThe station was originally owned by the family ofJean Pouliot,then-owner of CFCF-TV. It was acquired byCogecoin 2001 concurrently with Cogeco's acquisition of the network. It was later acquired byRemstarin June 2008, which had been owned by Cogeco and CTVglobemedia but enteredbankruptcy protectionin late 2007. The network was renamed V the following year. It was later reorganized into a separate entity namedV Media Group,which was still majority-owned by Remstar, with a minority share held by a trust controlled by Remstar's owner,Maxime Rémillard.[3]As an owned-and-operated station of the network, CFJP was part of V's takeover byBell Mediaon May 15, 2020.[2][4]
CFJP formerly had a rebroadcaster inRimouski,CJPC-TVchannel 18, but this switched to being a semi-satellite ofCFTF-TVin June 2007.
Digital television and high definition
editCFJP launched ahigh definitionsimulcast on June 4, 2007, and it's available onVidéotronand Cogeco cable in Quebec. It signed on over the air on channel 42 from their studio building in Montreal in December 2007. However, digital television receivers display CFJP-TV'svirtual channelas 35. After theanalog television shutdown and digital conversionon August 31, 2011,[5]CFJP-TV moved from its pre-transition channel number, 42, to its post-transition and old analog channel number, 35. Because of the placement of the digital broadcast antenna at a low elevation on top of a residential building in Montreal, the coverage area was greatly reduced as compared to its former analog signal, which broadcast from Mount Royal. Many viewers were no longer able to receive CFJP. The station moved its digital transmitter to Mount Royal on April 16, 2013, greatly increasing its coverage area.
