Quebec City: Rythme FM gone from CJEC, to relaunch 6/20

Last month on May 21, Leclerc Communication has pulled Rythme FM branding and programming from CHEC-FM in Quebec City, in favor of relaunching the station with a new format this Wednesday (June 20). Apparently, the station was stunting in some way since May:

Interesting. Any word on potential changes at the other station that Leclerc inherited from Cogeco CFEL 102.1?

Last time I read, that station is all-locally-programmed, but they're still using the CKOI name and the old Corus-era logo.
 
Any ideas as to what the significance of the WKND branding is? Or are they just trying to come across as an American sounding radio station.
 
They're calling it "Le weekend 91,9," billing it as "the station without a Monday." It's just coincidental that the nickname starts with a "W," best I can tell.
 
I thought L'office de la langue Quebec outlawed the word "Le Weekend" and replace with the word, "Le Fin de Semaine". "Le Weekend" is acceptable in France, but not in Quebec.

'Stop' signs are acceptable in France, but not in Quebec. :-\

Most of Quebec have "Arret" signs instead, but there are some areas that have Stop signs in English (Kahnawake), native languages (northern Quebec and some First Nations reserves), or Bi-lingual in English / French or French / native-language.
