About CISM 89,3 FM
CISM 89.3 FM is the campus radio station of the Université de Montréal. It broadcasts on 89.3 FM under the call sign CISM-FM and is one of the most powerful French-language campus stations in North America. Its slogan is La référence musicale alternative à Montréal — Montréal's reference for alternative music. On this page you can listen to CISM live online, free and without an app.
Alternative music in French and English
CISM is known for playing music that commercial radio rarely touches: alternative rock, indie, punk, electronic, hip hop, experimental music and more. Francophone artists from Quebec's independent scene have a central place, and many Quebec bands received their first radio play on CISM before reaching a wider audience. Specialty shows explore particular genres in depth.
Made by students and volunteers
Like other campus stations, CISM is largely run by students and volunteers, who host shows, produce programmes and help keep the station on the air. That gives the station a creative, independent character, and it has trained many people who later worked in Quebec media and music.
Culture and talk
Besides music, CISM carries programmes about culture, arts, student life, society and ideas, mostly in French. It is a window on Montréal's alternative scene, its venues, festivals and artists.
