On July 18, Dr. Alphee Michaud on behalf of a company to be incorporated was
awarded a licence for a new AM station at Caraquet. The proposed French language station would be affiliated with Radio-Canada.
On July 11, Radio Acadie Ltee was authorized to issue 1,900 common shares to Dr. Demetrio Mea, Dr. Bruno Selosse, Rufino Lundry, Ali Lebouthillier, Lionel Breau, Richard Losier, Ulysse Breau and Donat Breau. Five hundred common shares would then be transferred from Roger Morin to Lionel Breau, Richard Losier, Ulysse Breau and Donat Breau. The station is still not on the air. It was hoped the new ownership structure would provide the funding to get things underway.
The licence was renewed for one year and a share transfer was approved. The new owners would be R. Landry (50%), A. Lebouthillier and A. Michaud. The station was still not on the air. The licensees now considered FM to be more feasible but were told any FM application would have to be considered on the same basis as that of any party applying for this service.
CJVA began broadcasting on September 15, operating on 810 kHz with a power of 10,000 watts. CJVA was owned and operated by Radio Acadie Ltee. and broadcast programming in French.
