CKLX-FM

It is the French-language flagship station of CF Montreal of Major League Soccer and the Laval Rocket of the American Hockey League. CKLX-FM's studios are located on West Laurier Avenue in the Le Plateau-Mont-Royal neighbourhood of Montreal. Its transmitter, located atop Mount Royal, uses a directional antenna with an average effective radiated power of 1,780 watts and a peak effective radiated power of 4,675 watts (Class B1). It also is heard nationally on Channel 978 on the Bell Satellite TV radio station lineup. The station first signed on in 2004. It had a smooth jazz format. From December 2004 until August 2012, it called itself Couleur Jazz before being re-branded as Planète Jazz 91,9 in the summer of 2008. On 13 January 2012, RNC Media applied to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (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 included other forms of jazz) as well as blues and additional special interest music genres.
