Hits and humour

CKOI plays contemporary hit radio: the biggest pop songs of the moment, dance hits and crossover songs from hip hop and R&B, along with Québécois pop artists who get plenty of airtime. What sets the station apart is its personality. For decades CKOI has been associated with comedy, sketches and well-known Quebec humourists, and its shows are built around fun, games and conversation with listeners.

A Montréal institution

CKOI has been part of Montréal radio for decades and has launched or boosted the careers of many Quebec hosts and comedians. Its morning show is one of the city's most talked-about, and the station's contests and events are well known among younger listeners. Its strong FM signal reaches much of southwestern Quebec and the Ottawa Valley.

In French, for everyone

The station broadcasts in French, but music has no language barrier, and the playlist includes many English-language international hits. For anglophone Montrealers and learners of French, CKOI is an easy way to hear everyday Québécois French and keep up with what young Quebecers are listening to.
