CFVD-FM, also known as Horizon 95,5[1] and Plaisir 95,5, is a French language hot adult contemporary radio station that operates at 95.5 FMinDégelis, Quebec, Canada.
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]
