Q107 (CFGQ) is a Canadian radio station broadcasting at 107.3 MHz in Calgary, Alberta.

The station was launched on April 15, 1982 as CKIK-FM, and first broadcast an adult album rock format. Throughout the 1980s and much of the 1990s, CKIK-FM (known on-air as 107 KIK FM and later as Rock 107) played a variety of rock formats. Early in its history, the station encountered financial difficulties, which were alleviated in 1985, when Harvey Glatt, Ottawa music impresario and founder of CHEZ-FM, acquired a 75% interest in the station, which he held until 1995.


In September 1997, CKIK-FM adopted a CHR format branded as "Power 107". In January 2002, CKIK-FM would later evolve to become a hot adult contemporary station known as "The Peak 107.3". In 2004, CKIK-FM dropped the hot AC format, becoming a classic rock station branded as "Q107". The station's call letters were changed to CFGQ.

  2. On the same(second)floor, of the building, also, was Canada's perennial number one Country station, CKRY-FM or, Country 105. I know this, because I was on the third floor, doing all-nights
    at CHQR AM770.
