CHAI 101,9 FM

CHAI 101,9 FM is Châteauguay’s French-language community station, pairing current Roussillon news with Quebec music coverage, emerging-talent promotion and a broad multi-genre schedule.

CHAI 101,9 FM is a French-language community radio station in Châteauguay, Quebec, operated by Radio communautaire de Châteauguay CHAI-FM. The CRTC’s current renewal notice lists CHAI-FM Châteauguay and its CHAI-FM-1 Candiac transmitter as community service with a licence expiring August 31, 2027; an earlier CRTC decision identifies CHAI-FM as the only licensed French-language station specifically serving Châteauguay and the surrounding area. CHAI’s official mission is to make radio accessible to the community, express Roussillon’s identity through distinctive local and regional information, promote emerging talent, and train the next generation. Its current first-party site publishes Châteauguay-region reporting through July 24, 2026. A July 21 report covers the discoverability and listening share of Quebec music, while a July 6 report previews seven Châteauguay concerts featuring tribute groups and emerging artists across Quebec song, funk, dance and R&B. The current schedule documents daily and weekly music programming spanning blues, classic rock, nostalgia, jazz, country, progressive rock, classical music and other formats. These first-party surfaces establish substantive current Francophone community broadcasting, Quebec music reporting, local artist and concert coverage, and broad scheduled music programming. The Contact page publishes organization role inboxes, telephone and postal details, while a separate form invites volunteer program concepts and requests extensive personal and show-planning information. Neither explicitly invites artist, release, track, press-release, review or editorial submissions; the program form is not a music-servicing route. MusicList therefore publishes no contact or submission route and infers no fee or outcome. Every email address, telephone and postal detail, named contributor data, program-proposal form, membership, partner, advertising, social and private routes, private messages, files, submissions, responses, correspondence, listener, member, volunteer, applicant and payment data remain excluded.
