CKDG-FM is a multilingual Canadian radio station located in Montreal, Quebec.
Owned and operated by John Daperis, it broadcasts on 105.1 MHz using a directional antenna with an average effective radiated power of 141 watts and a peak effective radiated power of 224 watts (class A). Unlike most FM stations, it broadcasts in mono to maximize its Signal to Noise Ratio to all its listeners.
As per its licence, the station is forbidden to use English or French for more than 35 % of its broadcast schedule. CKDG-FM started in May 2005 to use this time for a variety hits format, but only available during the AM and PM drives, branded as "Mike-FM". The multilingual programming is primarily Greek but also includes broadcasts in the following languages: Armenian, Caribbean, Haitian, Romanian and Russian .
The station was previously known as CHCR when it was on closed circuit cable for decades, before moving to full-fledged FM in early 2004.
