Rythme FM is a network of French-language adult contemporary FM radio stations broadcasting in most major markets of Quebec . The network was created and owned by Cogeco .
37-638: The brand "Rythme FM" was introduced in January 1999 at CFGL-FM in the Montreal market, and the network was created after Cogeco received new licences in other markets in 2002 and 2003. The Rythme FM network is in direct competition against Rouge FM ; both networks offer a very similar product, with Rouge FM having a marginally hot AC -leaning sound compared to Rythme FM, which leans somewhat more towards oldies/classic hits. On April 30, 2010 , Cogeco announced it would purchase Corus Quebec 's radio stations. The sale
74-642: A French mainstream adult contemporary sound, known as Rythme FM . The move proved to be quite successful. CFGL became the top-rated French-language radio station in North America . It held that distinction until its sister station , French talk outlet CHMP-FM , overtook it in Fall 2011. On May 17, 2017, CFGL-FM began broadcasting in HD Radio , offering a digital radio simulcast of its FM feed on its digital sideband, with room for potential expansion of subchannels in
111-548: A more detailed treatment of this and the above frequency ranges, see Electromagnetic spectrum . Gravitational waves are also described in Hertz. Current observations are conducted in the 30–7000 Hz range by laser interferometers like LIGO , and the nanohertz (1–1000 nHz) range by pulsar timing arrays . Future space-based detectors are planned to fill in the gap, with LISA operating from 0.1–10 mHz (with some sensitivity from 10 μHz to 100 mHz), and DECIGO in
148-483: Is Rythme FM's overnight program, broadcasting from 12 midnight to 5:30 a.m. weekdays or 6 a.m. weekends. An automated hostless program, the program features mainly English pop-dance music, with songs from other pop genres and francophone tunes included. Les weekends à [host's name] is heard Fridays at 4pm (3pm in Mauricie) to 8pm and the weekends from 11am to 4pm; a mix of pop, dance and rock music, with information on

Light is electromagnetic radiation that is even higher in frequency, and has frequencies in the range of tens of terahertz (THz, infrared ) to a few petahertz (PHz, ultraviolet ), with the visible spectrum being 400–790 THz. Electromagnetic radiation with frequencies in the low terahertz range (intermediate between those of
333-567: The Wow FM branding. On March 24, 2022, Arsenal Media (formerly Attraction Radio) acquired CHOA-FM, still branded as WOW FM . In August 2018, Attraction Radio abandoned the Rythme FM network affiliation on CILM-FM and CKGS-FM for its in-house branding, "O". Cogeco would acquire CILM-FM from Arsenal Media on April 25, 2022, reintroducing the Rythme FM branding in Saguenay in the process. On August 16, 2021,
370-407: The reciprocal of one second . It is used only in the case of periodic events. It is named after Heinrich Rudolf Hertz (1857–1894), the first person to provide conclusive proof of the existence of electromagnetic waves . For high frequencies, the unit is commonly expressed in multiples : kilohertz (kHz), megahertz (MHz), gigahertz (GHz), terahertz (THz). Some of the unit's most common uses are in
407-446: The 0.1–10 Hz range. In computers, most central processing units (CPU) are labeled in terms of their clock rate expressed in megahertz ( MHz ) or gigahertz ( GHz ). This specification refers to the frequency of the CPU's master clock signal . This signal is nominally a square wave , which is an electrical voltage that switches between low and high logic levels at regular intervals. As

Sound is a traveling longitudinal wave , which is an oscillation of pressure . Humans perceive the frequency of a sound as its pitch . Each musical note corresponds to a particular frequency. An infant's ear is able to perceive frequencies ranging from 20 Hz to 20 000 Hz ;
481-501: The Rythme FM branding was reintroduced to Quebec City when Cogeco-owned CFOM-FM changed its branding from M 102.9 . This led the return of the Rythme FM branding and format to the Quebec City market since CJEC-FM's disaffiliation and sale in 2012. Bonjour [region] is Rythme FM's breakfast program, broadcast weekdays between 5:30am and 8:30am. Each station has its own set of hosts and news reporters. The show mixes music with reports on
518-573: The Rythme network and adopted a new slogan: "La Couleur Musicale des Laurentides". The CIME branding would expand to CJLA-FM Lachute, Quebec and CHPR-FM Hawkesbury, Ontario following Cogeco's acquisition of these stations from RNC Media in 2018. In January 2017, CHLX-FM dropped Rythme FM and re-branded as Wow 97.1 , which they continue to use to this day. On August 7. 2017, its sister station, CHOA-FM, dropped Rythme FM and re-branded similarly as Wow FM . In April 2018, Cogeco acquired CHOA-FM, but kept
555-476: The average adult human can hear sounds between 20 Hz and 16 000 Hz . The range of ultrasound , infrasound and other physical vibrations such as molecular and atomic vibrations extends from a few femtohertz into the terahertz range and beyond. Electromagnetic radiation is often described by its frequency—the number of oscillations of the perpendicular electric and magnetic fields per second—expressed in hertz. Radio frequency radiation
592-569: The caesium 133 atom is exactly 9 192 631 770 hertz , ν hfs Cs = 9 192 631 770 Hz ." The dimension of the unit hertz is 1/time (T ). Expressed in base SI units, the unit is the reciprocal second (1/s). In English, "hertz" is also used as the plural form. As an SI unit, Hz can be prefixed ; commonly used multiples are kHz (kilohertz, 10 Hz ), MHz (megahertz, 10 Hz ), GHz (gigahertz, 10 Hz ) and THz (terahertz, 10 Hz ). One hertz (i.e. one per second) simply means "one periodic event occurs per second" (where
629-422: The description of periodic waveforms and musical tones , particularly those used in radio - and audio-related applications. It is also used to describe the clock speeds at which computers and other electronics are driven. The units are sometimes also used as a representation of the energy of a photon , via the Planck relation E = hν , where E is the photon's energy, ν is its frequency, and h
666-440: The event being counted may be a complete cycle); 100 Hz means "one hundred periodic events occur per second", and so on. The unit may be applied to any periodic event—for example, a clock might be said to tick at 1 Hz , or a human heart might be said to beat at 1.2 Hz . The occurrence rate of aperiodic or stochastic events is expressed in reciprocal second or inverse second (1/s or s ) in general or, in
703-543: The first non-Cogeco station to affiliate with that network (other than CJEC-FM). This will follow on March 9, 2015 with the rebranding of RNC-owned CHOA-FM in Rouyn-Noranda , expanding the Rythme FM network to the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region; ironically, CHOA-FM was once an affiliate of Rythme FM's competitor, RockDétente (now Rouge FM), before rebranding to Couleur FM in the mid-2000s. On November 26, 2014, it
740-469: The future. By 2019, the station returned to soft adult contemporary . Hertz The hertz (symbol: Hz ) is the unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI), often described as being equivalent to one event (or cycle ) per second . The hertz is an SI derived unit whose formal expression in terms of SI base units is s , meaning that one hertz is one per second or
777-449: The hertz has become the primary unit of measurement accepted by the general populace to determine the performance of a CPU, many experts have criticized this approach, which they claim is an easily manipulable benchmark . Some processors use multiple clock cycles to perform a single operation, while others can perform multiple operations in a single cycle. For personal computers, CPU clock speeds have ranged from approximately 1 MHz in
