Stations
The network had four co-flagships :
- CFOM-FM 102.9 in Quebec City for Souvenirs Garantis Classic hits programming
- CHMP-FM 98.5 in Montreal (officially licensed to Longueuil) for talk programming
- CKAC 730 AM in Montreal for sports talk
- CINF 690 AM Montreal for all-news radio
Other stations included:
- CFEL-FM 102.1 in Lévis
- CIME-FM 103.9 in Saint-Jérôme
- CJRC-FM 104.7 in Gatineau
- CHLT-FM 107.7 in Sherbrooke
- CHLN-FM 106.9 in Trois-Rivières
On February 5, 2009, it was announced that these four stations would introduce a classic hits music format similar to the one currently used at CFOM-FM 102.9 in Quebec City, effective March 28. However, according to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) website, Corus intends to continue to operate those stations under a news/talk format for CRTC regulatory purposes, as the new music programming will air only from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends.
Stations not owned and operated by Corus Entertainment can also be affiliates, such as CKRS-FM 98.3 in Saguenay, CFYX-FM 93.3 in Rimouski, CHNC-FM 107.1 in New Carlisle and CFGT-FM 104.5 in Alma. CHRC 800 AM in Quebec City was previously part of the Corus Québec network, but the station was sold in 2008 by Corus to a group of local businessmen; it no longer has any links with Corus. CKRS-FM was sold in November 2010 to a local group, Radio Saguenay; it is unknown if any Corus Québec programming still airs on that station.

Famous quotes containing the word stations:
“I can’t quite define my aversion to asking questions of strangers. From snatches of family battles which I have heard drifting up from railway stations and street corners, I gather that there are a great many men who share my dislike for it, as well as an equal number of women who ... believe it to be the solution to most of this world’s problems.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“After I was married a year I remembered things like radio stations and forgot my husband.”
—P. J. Wolfson, John L. Balderston (1899–1954)
“The only road to the highest stations in this country is that of the law.”
—William Jones (1746–1794)
