C93 FM, or Radio MirAcadie, is dedicated to providing information, entertainment and unity to Northumberland County’s French-speaking community of over 18,000. The history of C93 FM goes back long before it opened in 2007. In the early 1980s, discussions and efforts were undertaken to build the Centre scolaire communautaire Carrefour Beausoleil. However, it wasn’t until 1989 that the first community radio committee was formed. Subsequently, a mobile radio station was set up, traveling to summer festivals in several Northumberland County towns and villages, such as Miramichi, Baie Sainte-Anne, Néguac and Rogersville. These festivals have contributed to the popularity of the community radio project.
Since 2015, C93, formerly CKMA, has been collaborating with community radio stations in Saint John and Fredericton. The three stations exchange hosts to offer more varied programming while keeping expenses under control. This collaboration strengthens the diversity and richness of the programming offered to listeners.

PLUS 90.7 is an urban radio station owned and operated by Radio Beauséjour Inc. and CJSE for over 25 years. In response to the dominance of the English-language market, the board and management of Radio Beauséjour, along with a group of Dieppe citizens, wanted to create a new radio station that would meet the needs of the city’s French-speaking population.
Thus was born BO FM, a French pop radio station serving the Dieppe region and southeastern New Brunswick. CFBO-FM has become the most listened-to independent French-language radio station in this region, with a team of hosts who accompany listeners throughout their day, whether at breakfast, during lunch hour, at work to entertain, or on the way home to end the day on a high note. In 2021, after 13 years under the BO FM brand, the station has made a major change by focusing on the latest hits and classics that are still part of the target audience’s playlists, and has been relaunched as Plus FM 90.7.
