CFQR (600 AM) is an English-language radio station in Montreal, Quebec.[1][2]
On June 28, 2017, a test broadcast began on AM 600 by TTP Media, the same owners as CFNV. The call sign was announced as CFQR (no relation to the former CFQR-FM, now CKBE-FM).[3][4]
On June 13, 2022, CFQR launched its morning drive program, Mornings Matter. The program was hosted by Jim Connell, a former host at CINW and CKMI-DT. In connection with the launch, CFQR stated that its programming would feature news, information, and talk, along with music from the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.[5]
As of 2023, the station is 100% automated with no live programming.
