CFQR (600 AM) is an English-language radio station in Montreal, Quebec. [1] [2]
On November 9, 2012, the CRTC approved an application by 7954689 Canada Inc. to operate an English language commercial AM radio station in Montréal at 600 kHz (class B) with a transmitter power of 10,000 watts daytime and 5,000 watts nighttime. [3]
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). [4] [5]
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. [6]
As of 2023, the station is 100% automated with no live programming.

The group is collectively known as TTP Media, which reflects the surnames of the three owners, Tietolman, Tétrault and Pancholy.
