History
The station was authorized by the CRTC on August 26, 2008, and only began testing on June 24, 2011 This long delay was caused by the economic recession, and also by the fact that their transmitting equipment was vandalized on November 29, 2010. Regular programming began on September 6, 2011, at 4:40 p.m.
Montmagny was previously served by CFEL-FM, from 1987 until that station's move to Lévis in 2009, and by CKBM 1490, which closed due to a bankruptcy in 1983.
On August 20, 2012, CIQI changed formats to hot adult contemporary.

Why this record matters
The phrase “radio station in Montmagny, Quebec” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5011829. The first chronological checks are 2008, 2011, 2010 and 1987.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
