	CKGM (AM) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		CKGM was founded by Geoff Stirling and opened on December 7, 1959.
		CKGM got a record-high number of listeners among English-language stations in Montreal according to the Fall 1976 BBM ratings that were released on December 13 of that year, thanks in part to the large numbers of Francophones who listened to the station (almost 40% of CKGM listeners were French-speaking).
		CKGM became the radio flagship of the Montreal Expos a few days later, marking a return of baseball on English-language airwaves.

	Canadian Communications Foundation - Fondation Des Communications Canadiennes
		On March 6, CKGM was authorized to change its daytime radiation pattern in order to improve its signal to the northeast, southeast and southwest sectors of Montreal.
		CKGM was first granted the move to 990 kHz and power increase to 50,000 watts, on July 18, 1983.
		CKGM was given approval to operate a transitional digital radio undertaking from a transmitter on Mont Royal, using the EUREKA-147 digital audio broadcasting system.

	Radio goes skating
		CKGM is fighting with CBC for last place since they carry network programming which is inexpensive but not relevent to Montreal in any way.
		The first thought was to use the former CKGM 980 kHz transmitter and re-tune it to 800 kHz.
		Effective at midnight on Sunday, January 25, CKGM would cease its regular programming and CJAD would begin broadcasting on 990 kHz until such time as the CJAD antenna towers had been rebuilt and the 800 kHz transmitter was again operational.

	CHOM-FM - the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		It was put on the air in 1963 as CKGM-FM, initially simulcasting the programming of its AM sister, 980 CKGM, at the time.
		It became an album-oriented rock station in 1969, and it dropped the CKGM-FM branding in favour of CHOM in 1971.
		In 2002 it was purchased by Standard Broadcasting, thus divorcing it from its lifetime AM sister station, 990 CKGM, owned by CHUM Limited.

	Marc Denis' CKGM Super 70s Tribute Page
		CKGM’s Marc Denis and broadcaster/actress Kelly Ricard are chosen as in-house PA announcers for the gymnastics competitions held at the Forum as part of the 1976 Montréal Summer Games.
		One of the memorable CKGM voices of 1976 is the Chucker, Chuck Morgan.
		CKGM switches to "Lite Rock, Less Talk" (later to become "Favourites of Yesterday and Today") thus, dropping the Top 30 /40 /50 hit music the station had become largely identified with by Montrealers and legions beyond since 1959.

	: 980 CKGM
		But my love for pop music started at a very your age listenning to 980 CKGM on the AM dial when I lived in Brossard.
		CKGM was my favouritew radio station, and were known for their Top 30 countdowns, and also had them in print weekly in the Montreal Gazette.
		Well the CKGM list inspired me to do those, and I have been lucky to find a 1983 Top 30 chart that I saved in my yearbook.

		CKGM's broader exploration program continues to deliver promising results, with another hole, ERC 35, located in the northern wall of the Eureka pit, identifying two zones of mineralization.
		Mr Haythorpe said CKGM was leveraging off its strong relationship with drilling contractor Redmond Drilling to obtain commercially attractive drilling rates for the new program.
		CKGM has a 33% interest in Redmond, whose principals are in turn major shareholders in CKGM.

	A selection from a decade of visits to tower and studio sites in the Northeast and beyond
		CKGM went through a prolonged series of death throes in the 1980s, flipping to AC, then returning to top 40 as CHTX, "980 Hits." And on September 14, 1990, CHTX moved to 990, increasing its power to 50,000 watts from a new transmitter site far south of Montreal at Ville-de-Mercier.
		While the national "Team" format is now dead, CKGM has carried on with it - and it's far and away the lowest-rated English-language signal on the Montreal dial.
		As a stopgap, it was somewhat mediocre; the 1410 signal is notoriously bad to the west, which meant that the Anglophone target community on the West Island had a lot of trouble hearing CJAD on its new frequency.

	CJMS towers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		As best we can tell, this is the old site of CKGM, before that station moved from 10 kW DA-1 on 980 to 50 kW DA-2 on 990 at a different site.
		Bucking the usual trend of dead Canadian AM towers, the facility appears to have remained standing for several years -- long enough to be re-used for the new CJMS licensee to take advantage of the new facility.
		I think that CKGM had four towers here; you will note the extra doghouse next to the leftmost tower, and we saw what looked like another tower's worth of steel on the ground nearby.

	Marc Denis' CKGM Super 70s Tribute Page
		Mais Oui say welcome to The 98 CKGM Super 70s Tribute Page, a space dedicated to one of the hottest Top 40 radio stations in North America during that magic ten-year period and to the wonderful staff that fueled its success in Montréal during those glory years.
		Although 980 CKGM hit the airwaves in the city in 1959 and still flies today next door on the dial at 990 (as sports-talk “Team 990”), this page sets out to salute “CKGM Super 98” in its heyday: January 1, 1970 to December 31, 1979.
		It goes without saying that a tip of the proverbial hat goes to CKGM’s early radio pioneers that laid the groundwork in the 50s and 60s.

	Letters Sept 4 1997
		I was the executive producer and host of The Next Zone, a weekly radio show on 990 CKGM for about a year and a half.
		It was a talk show for twentysomethings which initially tried to imitate the talk shows for fiftysomethings.
		In late September of last year, Ian MacLean, program director of CHOM and CKGM, cancelled the show for being "sophomoric, juvenile and in bad taste," due to a sketch in which the terms "flatulence" and "constipation" were mentioned.

		The weather was blustery and cold, but the young man in a knitted wool sweater and multi-colour patched blue jeans, with his waist-long hair flapping in the wind, was oblivious.
		Over the years, CKGM developed a tradition of verbal thuggery that reached a zenith of sorts with Pat Burns, an exile from Vancouver who became a Francophobe messiah of English Montreal's "little people".
		CKGM's eclectic music bears no relation at all to the banalities of Top 40 broadcasting.

	Rock Radio Scrapbook: The Mais Oui Files
		CKGM ruled the airwaves in Montreal (3rd out of 22 stations - not bad for an English-language station in a predominately French market.) And one of the engines that made it go was Marc Denis, whose unique bilingual presentation made him a standout on the early evening shift.
		During all of the '70s, 980 CKGM was the dominant and most popular English-language radio outlet in Montreal.
		Between 1977 and 1979, PD Reg Johns had the mandate to keep CKGM on top and did so with innovative contests and promotions and by 'turning up the heat'.

		Subject to CRTC approval of the foregoing applications, CHUM hereby delegates its programming responsibility for CKGM to Standard during the period of that temporary network licence, until 14 days after the CJAD technical facility is fully operational, or until the termination of this agreement, whichever comes first.
		CHUM will maintain and operate the CKGM technical facility in good working order, on an “as-is” basis, and bear all costs of such maintenance and operation; Standard will bear all costs of delivering its programming signal to the CKGM facility.
		The reality was that CKGM did not have the staff or resources to provide appropriate coverage in the emergency, while CJAD did.

	Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2006-390
		The opposing intervention raised a general question regarding music and therefore is not related to CKGM’s licence renewal in particular.
		The Commission is of the view that ADISQ could itself assess the compliance of licensees.
		With respect to CTD contributions, the Commission reviewed CKGM’s file and notes that the station is in compliance with its condition of licence requiring annual minimum contributions of $8,000.

	North East RadioWatch: January 26, 1998 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		After reportedly failing to interrupt its diet of US talk shows (Dean Edell, "Dr." Laura Schlessinger, etc.) for ice storm coverage, CKGM has now agreed to lease out its signal to CJAD until CJAD's own facility is rebuilt, which could take several more months.
		CHUM Group officials are making no promises that the low-rated talk format will return to CKGM once the CJAD lease is over; the CKGM facility has been troubled by low ratings and frequent format changes ever since dropping its CHR format, changing calls to CKIS, and moving off 980 kHz in the late 1980s.
		We'll be back on Thursday with the week's full report...including a call-letter swap in Glens Falls, an ousted PD in Buffalo, and a downsized talk team in Lowell.

		Frank says that they are on CKGM in track 7.
		But a close listen reveals that it is CKGM and since Bob Harris is in the band, it has to be from mid-'71.
		The Mothers did a live show in Montreal on July 4th, 1971 and this recording was apparently from much later that night (They comment more than once about how it's the middle of the night).

		CKGM had the "music" package as used by Radio London after Kenny Everett launched their "New Concept" on 1st October, 1966.
		I have often wondered whether the CKGM call-letters were the inspiration for the call-sign of the Easy Listening radio station Radio London was said to have been planning to operate from the Radio City towers, UKGM (United Kingdom Good Music).

		The physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles were identified by Zetasizer 3000 and Fourier transform infrared.
		It was found that at various CKGM and CS concentrations the particles ranged in size from approximately 50 to 1200 nm, and the zeta potential from 15 to 45 mV.
		By changing pH value of the medium and increasing the concentration of salt, the mean size of the particles increased and the zeta potential decreased.

		I suppose it is possible that once Standard takes control of CKGM that they may consider joing the sports network that CHUM is setting up.
		We're a bit less surprised not to see Windsor on the list, considering that both CKWW (580) and CKLW (800) are doing well with their present standards and talk formats, respectively -- and just across the Detroit River, there are no fewer than THREE sports stations serving the Motor City already!
