CHLX-FM is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts at 97.1 FM in Gatineau, Quebec. A francophone station owned by RNC Media, CHLX airs a mixed format of adult contemporary and jazz, branded as 97.1 Rythme FM. CHLX's studios are located on Jean-Prioux Avenue in Gatineau, while its transmitter is located in Camp Fortune.

CHLX was licensed by the CRTC in 2001, and launched on September 23, 2002.^[1]

It was briefly branded as Classique 97,1^[2] before becoming Couleur FM, airing classical music. In 2008, after a license amendment was accepted by the CRTC, it became Planète 97,1, an adult contemporary-formatted station, with 20% of its airtime devoted to jazz.^[3]

On July 11, 2014, it was announced that CHLX would flip to Hot AC as 97.1 Rythme FM on August 25th, as part of a licensing deal between Cogeco and RNC.^[3]^[4] CHLX became the first non-Cogeco station to carry the Rythme FM format (other than CJEC-FM Quebec City, which was briefly affiliated with Rythme FM after being sold by Cogeco to another broadcaster). As of October 2014, it still broadcasts two hours a day of jazz music.^[5]
