[edit] History
CFQR was put on the air in 1947 as CFCF-FM (and operated on a frequency of 106.5) - a sister to CFCF-AM 600 - simulcasting the programming of 600. With the new callsign of CFQR and on 92.5 Mhz., CFQR was one of four new FM stations which came on the air in 1962 using common transmmitting facilities on the new Mount Royal tower. The other stations were CKMF (originally CJMS-FM) on 94.3, CJFM (originally CJAD-FM) on 95.9 and CHOM (originally CKGM-FM in 1963) on 97.7. The station adopted an easy-listening soft rock format. It kept this format for 25 years simply as CFQR 92.5. The 92.5/600 pair underwent an ownership change in 1991 and CFQR switched to its current format.
