CFRS-DT, virtual channel 4.1 (VHF digital channel 13), is a Noovo owned-and-operated television station licensedtoSaguenay, Quebec, Canada, operating as a de facto semi-satelliteofMontreal flagship CFJP-DT. The station is owned by the Bell Media subsidiary of BCE Inc. CFRS-DT's studios are located on Rue Racine Est (co-located with sister stations CFIX-FM and CJAB-FM) in the former city of Chicoutimi, and its transmitter is located atop Mount Valin. On cable, the station is available on Vidéotron channel 5 and in high-definitionondigital channel 605.
The station was launched in 1986 by local broadcaster Radio Saguenay, as a sister station of Radio-Canada affiliate CKRS-TV (now Radio-Canada O&OCKTV-DT). Until the creation of the "megacity" of Saguenay in 2002, it was licensed to Jonquière.
Both stations were acquired by Cogeco in 1998, with CFRS becoming a TQS owned-and-operated station in 2001 when Cogeco bought controlling interest in the network. CFRS was part of V's takeover by Remstar in 2008. When TQS rebranded as V on August 31, 2009, CFRS dropped all non-network programming and became a de facto repeater of Montreal-based flagship CFJP-TV.
The station began broadcasting exclusively in digital on September 1, 2011, after receiving authorization from the CRTC.[3]
