CHEZ 106.1 live

CHEZ 106 is Ottawa's rock station and one of the capital's most recognisable radio brands. It broadcasts on 106.1 FM under the call sign CHEZ-FM and is owned by Rogers Sports & Media, with studios on Richmond Road in Ottawa. The station has been on the air since 1977, and its slogan is simply Ottawa's Rock Station. On this page you can listen to CHEZ 106 live online, free and without an app.

Ottawa's Rock Station

CHEZ plays a bold mix of rock: classic rock anthems from the 1970s and 80s, hard rock, and modern rock from the decades since. Expect bands such as Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, The Tragically Hip, Rush and Foo Fighters, along with newer rock releases. Canadian rock has always been part of the station's sound, and over almost fifty years CHEZ has introduced Ottawa listeners to many of the bands that defined the genre.

Local shows and community spirit

CHEZ is not just a jukebox. Its morning show has long been part of Ottawa's routine, and the station's hosts talk about the city, its people and its sports teams between songs. CHEZ supports local charities and events throughout the year, and its connection with the community is a big reason why it has lasted so long in a changing radio market.

Serving the national capital region

The 106.1 FM signal covers Ottawa and Gatineau and much of eastern Ontario and western Quebec. Online, the stream reaches listeners anywhere, which makes CHEZ popular with former Ottawans and rock fans across Canada. If you like CHEZ, you may also enjoy other rock stations on this site, such as 92.1 CITI in Winnipeg and K-ROCK 105.7 in Kingston.
