. The license is held by Fondation Radio-Enfant, a non-profit educational agency. CJEU’s transmitter is located off of Chem des Terres in Musee, Quebec.

, and Fondation Radio-Enfant was granted a permanent AM license in early 2007 to operate on 1670 kHz. Initially, CJEU played music mainly in French and sung by children. Most of the music that is played, however, was not professionally recorded. In late 2010, the station was renamed as ''Radio Oxygène'', expanding its programming to include programs for teenagers and young adults. Programming for younger listeners was renamed ''Radio-Enfant-Ado''. At one point, the station was known as ''Radio Jeunesse''. In 2011, CJEU temporarily simulcasted its programming on 1350 AM until the launch of CIRA-5 in 2012. In 2015, the CRTC approved an ownership change for CJEU from Fondation Radio Enfant du Canada to Radio Communautaire Enfant-Ado de Gatineau-Ottawa. On August 15, 2019, the CRTC issued a short-term license renewal for CJEU from September 1, 2019 to August 31, 2023. The short-term renewal would allow for an earlier review of the licensee’s compliance with regulatory requirements. On March 25, 2024, after being off the air for a year and a half and while waiting for funding to get their transmitter repaired, CJEU briefly returned to the air and then went off the air again on March 27 due to technical difficulties. More funding and transmitter repairs will be required. CJEU is reportedly back on the air as of August 1, 2024.CRN - CJEU 1670 Gatineau Is Back On The Air
