Created by Radio Dégelis Inc., the station was licensed in 1978 at 1370 kHz AM with a transmitter of 1000 watts, and was licensed to convert to FM in 1994. ^[2]

CFVD-FM applied twice to the CRTC, in 2006 and 2010, to add an FM transmitter at Rivière-du-Loup, Quebec which would operate at 102.5 MHz; they were denied both times.^[3][4]

To highlight its 30th anniversary, the station took on the name Horizon FM in 2008.^[1]

In 2012 the station was acquired by a group called Attraction Radio, who later morphed into Arsenal Media. Since 2021 Arsenal Media has incorporated the station in its Plaisir branding, which designates pop and nostalgia-oriented content.^[5][6]
