History
CJPM-TV, channel 6 signed on for the first time on April 14, 1963. Its owners soon realized that they didn't have the revenue to challenge Radio-Canada affiliate CKRS-TV (now CKTV-DT) on their own. To obtain better programming, CJPM started sharing programs with the largest privately owned francophone station in Canada, CFTM-TV, a flagship station in Montreal. Along with Quebec City's CFCM-TV (which joined the group in 1964 after disaffiliating from Radio-Canada), this collective of independent stations was the forerunner of TVA, though the network wasn't formally created until September 12, 1971 with CJPM as one of its three charter affiliates, the others being CFTM and CFCM.
CJPM's original owners sold the station to Télé-Métropole, owner of CFTM, in 1982. It became a TVA owned-and-operated station when Télé-Métropole bought majority control of the network in 1990. Since then it has been basically a semi-satellite of CFTM, except for newscasts.
CJPM-DT signed on its digital signal on August 29, 2011 from a temporary antenna at Mont Sainte-Claire.
