CFQK is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts at 104.5 FM in Kaministiquia, Ontario. The station airs a country music format as The Thunder.
The station also broadcasts on 103.5 FM in Shuniah, with the callsign CKED. CFQK began broadcasting in 2002, and added the CKED retransmitter later that year. Both frequencies are low-power transmitters with partial audience reach into the nearby city of Thunder Bay.
On June 10, 2005, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission denied an application by Dougall Media to acquire the station. After three different formats since the sign on in 2002, the station switched to a hot adult contemporary format in mid-2005, known as "103.5, 104.5 HOT-FM". In May 2008, the station then switched to a Country music format, known as "103.5 The Thunder".
