CFGL
105.7 CFGL went on the air on September 10, 1968. This detailed history of the station says that CFGL was once partly owned by radio and television presenter Jean-Pierre Coallier who was also a cartoonist. I wonder if he drew the naked violinist that appears on the sticker.
CFGL is licensed to the Montreal suburb of Laval, Quebec and is now branded as Rythme 105.7 with an Adult Contemporary format.
