It started out as CHRD 1480 kHz and moved to FM in 1997.[1] From about 2001 to 2003, it was part of Astral's CHR network, Énergie. It became an oldies station in 2003 as part of Astral's new Boom FM network; this format would last until it became RockDétente in 2009. All RockDétente stations, including CHRD-FM, were rebranded as Rouge FM on August 18, 2011, at 4:00 p.m. EDT. The last song it played under "RockDétente" was Pour que tu m'aimes encore by Celine Dion, which was followed by a RockDétente tribute.
