CBF-FM-8 is a French-language Canadian radio station located in Trois-Rivières, Quebec.

Owned and operated by public broadcaster Canadian Broadcasting Corporation as part of the French-language Société Radio-Canada system, it broadcasts on 96.5 MHz using a directional antenna with an average effective radiated power of 66,700 watts and a peak effective radiated power of 100,000 watts (class C1).

The station has an ad-free news/talk format and is part of the Ici Radio-Canada Première network, which operates across Canada. Like all Première stations, but unlike most FM stations, it broadcasts in mono.

The station signed on in 1977 as a full-time rebroadcaster of CBF in Montreal. Before then, Radio-Canada programming had aired on private affiliate CHLN. However, despite Trois-Rivières' large size, the CBC opted not to open a full-fledged station in the city.^[1] It became a separately licensed station in 2000, while retaining a rebroadcaster-like callsign.^[2] However, for all intents and purposes, the station is a CBF semi-satellite. It has its own morning drive show (Chez nous le matin, Monday to Friday from 6 to 9 a.m.) and simulcasts CBF's drive time afternoon (Le 15-18) and Saturday (Samedi et rien d'autre) programming; Chez nous le matin is also heard on public holidays on most Première outlets in Quebec, except Montreal, Quebec City and the Outaouais region.

CBF-FM-8 was originally on 100.1 MHz, and moved to 88.1 MHz in 1985.^[3] It moved to its current frequency in late 2003.^[4]
