CJAD

AM 800 CJAD has been on the air in Montreal, Quebec since December 1945.  The call letters are based on the station's founder (C) Joseph Arthur Dupont.  For much of its history CJAD carried a Full Service format with MOR music of the 1960s and 70s.  They transitioned to Adult Contemporary in the 80s and currently carry a News/Talk format.  The 50,000-watt station (10,000 at night) has broadcast in English for its entire history.  The first commercial below dates to when they temporarily moved to 990 AM after a 1998 ice storm toppled all four of their broadcast towers.
