CKMF-FM is a French-language Canadian radio station located in Montreal, Quebec.
Owned and operated by Bell 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, while its studios are located at the Bell Media Building at 1717 Rene-Levesque Boulevard East.
The station airs a Top 40/CHR 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, as a sister station to the now-defunct CJMS 1280. Upon its opening, CJMS-FM was owned by the Radiomutuel Group. The station originally had a classical music format; that format was abandoned in 1970 and the call sign was changed at that time to CKMF-FM.
The station moved in 1972 from its original facility at the corner of Berri Street and Ontario Street East to relocate to the corner of Roy Street East and Hotel de Ville Avenue in the Plateau.
