CJMS was a French language radio station located in Saint-Constant, Quebec, Canada, a suburb of Montreal.
It broadcast on 1040 kHz with a daytime power of 10,000 watts and a nighttime power of 5,000 watts as a class B station, using a directional antenna with the same directional pattern day and night to protect WHO in Des Moines, Iowa. It transmitted from the same site CKGM used when it was on 980 kHz near Autoroute 30 in Saint-Constant.
The station had a format which was part-time country music and part-time talk and infomercials. Despite promoting itself as a country-formatted station, it was generally viewed as a talk/infomercial station which aired country music in non-key times of the day.
