CKRB-FM is a French-language Canadian radio station located in Saint-Georges, Quebec.

Owned and operated by Radio Beauce, a subsidiary of Groupe Radio Simard, it broadcasts on 103.3 MHz with an effective radiated power of 2,175 watts (class A) using an omnidirectional antenna. (The station was authorized by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to move to 103.5 MHz and increase its power to 17,000 watts as a class B station, [Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2005-179 [http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisions/2005/db2005-179.htm] ] but the move was never implemented.)

The station has an adult contemporary music format and identifies itself as "COOL FM 103.3".

CKRB went on the air on July 22, 1952 [Dallaire, Luce. "La vie communautaire", "Le Soleil", July 14, 2002, p. B-9.] as an AM station broadcasting on 1460 kHz; at the time the station only had a power of 250 watts. The station would later increase its power to 10,000 watts (daytime) and 5,000 watts (nighttime). By 1985, CKRB had converted its transmitter to AM stereo. [Roy, Yves. "La page non-officielle de CKRB 103,3 FM". [http://www.geocities.com/yvesroy.geo/rb.html] ] The station moved to FM on March 29, 1999. [Dallaire, Luce. "CKRB diffuse depuis Haïti ", "Le Soleil", March 29, 1999, p. A-6]
