in 2016, cogeco applied to the crtc for permission to move the transmission site to mount royal, as space had become available there after the digital tv transition. moreover, the move would allow cogeco to colocate all its montreal fm stations, and the superior location would require lower power to achieve the same reception range. the transmitter was moved in late 2018. effective radiated power is now limited to 148,000 watts, still much higher than the usual maximum.
