CJPX-FM is a French-language Canadian radio station located in Montreal, Quebec.
Owned and operated by Radio-Classique Montréal, an independent company 90% owned by Jean-Pierre Coallier, it broadcasts on 99.5 MHz using an omnidirectional antenna with an effective radiated power of 8,700 watts (class B).
The station has had a classical music format since its inception on June 25, 1998 and identifies itself as "Radio-Classique Montréal CJPX 99,5 FM".[1] The station is the first successful commercial classical music station in Montreal, following the failure of CJRM-FM in 1968[2] and decades of reluctance since then by the CRTC to allow such a station to go on the air.[3]
CJPX's main studios are located in Parc Jean-Drapeau on Île Notre-Dame in the Saint Lawrence River. It also has a secondary studio off the lobby at Place des Arts, in downtown Montreal.
It transmits from Mount Royal. The station's logo features Beethoven.
It has a sister station in the provincial capital, Quebec City, identifying as "Radio-Classique Quebec CJSQ 92,7 FM".
