Extra Data: The new voice of the Townships. We have been on the FM dial at 88.9 since November 11 1995.

In June of 1998 we tested and then went to 500 watts of radiated power which enabled us to broadcast to the greater part of the Eastern Townships. In 2007, CJMQ increased its output power to an outstanding 2000 watts! A great milestone for the station.

As such CJMQ offers a unique locally produced English broadcast voice, providing a valuable advertising tool for local commerces and merchants.

CJMQ is a not-for-profit organisation.

It is sometimes thought CJMQ is a student run station. Certainly we have had many devoted and talented students who provided a vitality and freshness to the station and had for years kept the station alive, but there are also many people who live here year round that love radio and involve themselves at various levels.

CJMQ offers a 365 days-per-year, 24 hour programming life with a vast selection of DJs and shows as well as quality variety programming. This benefits our listeners who have a unique opportunity to enjoy a quality, relevant English-language broadcast.
