CKLX-FM is a French language Canadian radio station located in Montreal, Quebec.

Owned and operated by RNC Media, it broadcasts from Mount Royal on 91.9 MHz using a directional antenna with an average effective radiated power of 1780 watts and a peak effective radiated power of 4675 watts (class B).

Logo as Planète Jazz 91,9, 2008-2012.

The station had a smooth jazz format^[1] from its inception in December 2004 until August 2012, first as Couleur Jazz before being re-branded as Planète Jazz 91,9 in the summer of 2008.

On January 13, 2012, RNC Media applied to the CRTC to amend its licence conditions to allow 50% of its programming to be spoken-word and talk programming, with the remainder being its existing smooth jazz format (though its license also includes other forms of jazz) as well as blues and other special interest music genres;^[2]^[3] its application hinted that the station would take a direction more towards its Quebec City sister station, CHOI-FM.^[4]

On August 20, 2012 at 5:30AM, CKLX-FM flipped to the new CHOI Radio X format, sharing the branding with its sister station, CHOI-FM. Currently, half its schedule is spoken-word talk radio programming, with weekend's Le Garage Rock program. Smooth jazz will remain on the schedule temporarily during the evening and weekend morning hours when it is still announcing itself on air as Jazz 91,9, though not on the website. All this is pursuant to its CRTC license, in which 70% of its music programming must be jazz or blues. The hybrid format will remain in effect until the station secures its approval to allow a mainly-spoken-word format,^[5] approval which was denied by the CRTC on March 14, 2013.^[6]
