History
Originally known as CFBO, CHSJ's first broadcast was on 890 kilocycles in March 1928, under the ownership of C.A. Munro Limited. The current callsign was adopted in 1934 when four Saint John newspaper publishing shareholders — Howard P. Robinson, J.D. McKenna, T. F. Drummie and L. W. Bewick saw great potential for little CFBO and purchased it from Mr. C.A. Monro. After the sale CHSJ was owned by the Saint John Publishing Company.
Currently, the callsign CFBO-FM has been assigned to the frequency of 90.7 MHz, branded as BO-FM as an adult contemporary francophone format radio station, broadcasting in Moncton since 2004.
From 1934 to 1936, the station was an affiliate of the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission. In 1936, CHSJ affiliated with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and later with the CBC Trans-Canada Network. CBC station CBD went on the air in 1964 but CHSJ is listed as remaining a CBC Radio affiliate until at least 1980.

Why this record matters
“CHSJ-FM” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, CHSJ-FM, Radio and station provides the most credible route into that argument.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2931472. Authority coordinates are 45.478, -66.234. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank.

Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. 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.
