Université de Montréal . It is student-run on a volunteer basis and can be heard inMontreal ,Canada , and its outlying regions, or by internet users around the world through live-streaming technology. A great variety of shows are broadcast daily in the French language.As early as 1970, Université de Montréal students developed the idea of a French college radio station. In 1980, a requested feasibility study gave place to recommendations for a potential radio broadcasting school. At noon on October 7, 1985, CISM broadcast its first radio show over the university's campus. In July 1990, CISM gained its FM broadcast permit from the
Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). Then, on March 14, 1991, CISM's broadcasting antenna was boosted to 10 000 watts. With a broadcasting radius of 70 km, CISM is now the world's largest French-language college radio station.External links
