CINF

CINF was a French language Canadian radio station located in Montreal, Quebec.

Owned and operated by Corus Quebec, it broadcast on 690 kHz with a power of 50,000 watts as a clear channel (class A) station, using a slightly directional antenna solely for the purpose of improving reception in downtown Montreal.

The station had carried an all-newsformat since December 1999, identifying itself as Info 690. Before that date, the station was known as CKVL and was on 850 kHz; it then had a news/talk format. Along with longtime English-language sister station CINW, it ceased operations at exactly 7:02 p.m. ET on January 29, 2010. Two and a half years later, the 690 AM frequency was reused for sports-formatted station CKGM, which moved to that frequency from the 990 AM frequency.
