CJMS is a French language Canadian radio station located in Saint-Constant, Quebec (near Montreal).
It broadcasts on 1040 kHz with a daytime power of 5,000 Watts and a nighttime power of 1,100 Watts as a class B station, using a directional antenna with the same directional pattern day and night to protect WHO in Des Moines, Iowa. It transmits from the same site CKGM used when it was on 980 kHz.
The station has a format which is part-time country music and part-time talk and infomercials. While the station identifies itself as "CJMS Country 1040", it is generally viewed as a talk/infomercial station which airs country music in non-key dayparts.
CJMS has no direct link whatsoever with the old CJMS 1280 which closed on September 30, 1994. The call sign CJMS was chosen as the original plan was to use the 1280 kHz frequency, which was allocated instead by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to multilingual station CFMB. Despite this, CJMS deliberately went on the air on April 25, 1999, 45 years to the day after the original CJMS began operations.
