CKMF-FM is a French-language Canadian radio station located in Montreal, Quebec.
Owned and operated by Astral Media, it broadcasts on 94.3 MHz with an effective radiated power of 41,400 watts (class C1) using an omnidirectional antenna from the Mount Royal candelabra tower.
The station has a contemporary hit radio format and is the flagship of the Énergie network which operates across Quebec. It offers an eclectic yet progressive mix of personality-driven DJs and current francophone and anglophone pop music.
Originally known as CJMS-FM, the station started operations on May 11, 1964, [1] as a sister station to the now-defunct CJMS 1280. The station originally had a classical music format; that format was abandoned in the early 1970s and the call sign was changed at that time to CKMF-FM. The station became Canada's first fulltime disco outlet in November 1978. It was from there that the "Énergie" name came to be as the station carried it over from its evolution from Rhythmic Top 40 in the 1980s and 1990s, to its current format which began in 1994.
While a power increase to 75,000 watts was planned around 2000 to combat expected interference from the power increase of fourth-adjacent CBF-FM 95.1 from 17,030 to 100,000 watts, it never took place and was not even applied for, as the expected interference never took place. However this plan was notified internationally even though it was never implemented, which explains the FCC's FM query erroneous claims that CKMF-FM has a power of 75,000 watts.
