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-news format 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 7:00 p.m. ET on January 29, 2010.
CKVL was founded by Jack Tietolman and Corey Thomson and opened on November 3, 1946. The station was originally on 990 kHz, and operated with 1,000 watts as a daytimer. The station was bilingual (French/English), but the majority of programming was in French and it was largely perceived by listeners as a Francophone station. The call sign stood for "Canadian Kilocycle Verdun Lakeshore". Programming on CKVL was varied, as it was then typical, and numerous radio dramas were aired.
Looking for an answer, tough shit there's none to give.
All gone astray, lost on the way.
Looking for choices the sale's on every day, bargains galore all stowed away.
The same brick wall no matter where you stand.
No answers no choices just silence and darkness.
No truth no lies no nothing surprise surprise.
Nothing to say no matter how you try you're heading for a fall.
No matter how you try no matter what you say.
