The Beat 92.5 live

The Beat 92.5 is an English-language hit music station in Montréal. It broadcasts on 92.5 FM under the call sign CKBE-FM and is owned by Cogeco, which also runs the French stations 98.5 Montréal, 96.9 CKOI and Rythme FM from Place Bonaventure downtown. The Beat is one of the main English music stations in a mostly French-speaking radio market, and on this page you can listen to it live online, free and without an app.

Rhythmic hits

The Beat plays a rhythmic adult contemporary mix: today's pop hits with a strong rhythmic side, R&B and hip hop crossovers, dance tracks and the throwbacks from the 2000s and 2010s that still fill dance floors. The sound is upbeat and modern, aimed at young adults and families, and it is often heard in gyms, shops and cars across the island of Montréal.

English radio in Montréal

For Montréal's English-speaking community, and for the many bilingual listeners in the city, The Beat is a daily source of music, news and entertainment in English. Its morning show mixes humour, conversation and listener calls, and the station's hosts talk about local life, from traffic on the bridges and Décarie Expressway to festivals such as the Jazz Festival, Osheaga and Just for Laughs.
