CKDG-FM is a radio station located in Montreal, Quebec. Owned and operated by Canadian Hellenic Cable Radio (CHCR), 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. CKDG's studios are located on Avenue du Parc in Montreal. It also identifies itself as Mike FM.
CKDG-FM broadcasts multicultural programming, primarily in Greek, alongside programming in Armenian, Hungarian, Italian, Romanian and Ukrainian. Per its license, CKDG-FM is allowed to air up to 35% of its programming in the English or French languages; since May 2005, CKDG has broadcast an English-language drive time program with variety hits music programming.
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. The station received CRTC approval in 2003 to operate a new ethnic FM radio station in Montreal.
