The Montreal Sessions

The Montreal Sessions is CKUT 90.3 FM's monthly artist-residency program, giving Montréal independent artists and music communities weekly access to live radio, interviews and freeform programming that includes bilingual editions.

The Montreal Sessions is CKUT 90.3 FM's Tuesday afternoon monthly artist-in-residency program in Montréal. Each month, a local artist, DJ, musician, label, festival or promoter programs a set of weekly two-hour broadcasts. CKUT describes the show as expanding access to its airwaves for local independent artists and musicians and giving listeners live performances and information about local musical subcultures and movements. Its 2026 archive remains active through July 21 and documents artist and festival takeovers, live sessions, new releases and community-led editions, including February programs with McGill's Black Student Network and a March series about Pan-Asian identity, memory, spirituality and representation. A September 2025 POP Montréal edition presented its artist interview in French and English, supporting a bilingual classification within the program's rotating format. The program is independently identifiable within CKUT's schedule and archive but is not a separate station; its parent is the already-published CKUT 90.3 FM profile. The official program page designates CKUT's Music Department role inbox for people asking to apply to host. This is a direct, no-fee program-residency inquiry route, not a promise of airplay or acceptance.
