Canada's first radio station is Marc Denis' last, for now.

First known as XWA in 1919, then CFCF in 1920, followed by CIQC in 1993 and lastly, as CINW moving from 600 AM to 940 AM in 1999, the venerable Montreal radio entity introduces many varied format incarnations through the decades. It finally settles for a 60s-70s-80s ‘Montreal’s Greatest Hits’ format in 2008, officially launched on July 1^st, Canada Day.

Marc ‘Mais Oui’ Denis is the first jock and is recruited as morning man until his departure on April 7, 2009, as part of sudden and major downsizing at the six radio stations cluster of which AM 940 is part of in the market. Economic problems prevalent in the industry at large during the recessionary year of 2009 have since drastically altered the radio landscape in Montreal, as everywhere else.

With ‘Mais Oui’ though, it is a guaranteed fun ride while it lasts! Enjoy Marc Denis on AM 940, Montreal’s Greatest Hits, here.
