CKJM-FM 106.1 (Chéticamp, Nova Scotia): The Acadian Voice of Cape Breton
CKJM-FM 106.1 is the heartbeat of Acadian culture on Cape Breton Island. Broadcasting from Cheticamp on Nova Scotia’s rugged west coast, the community station mixes local news, heritage music, and contemporary favorites to reflect everyday life in the region. It’s radio with roots: created by and for the community, and sustained by volunteers, partners, and listeners who want a station that sounds like home.
Tune to 106.1 FM around Chéticamp or stream the station online to hear a rich blend of francophone programming. Shows spotlight regional artists, traditional fiddle and step-dance influences, and the latest country and pop that fit small-town kitchens as well as coastal road trips. Between songs, friendly hosts share weather for the Cabot Trail, event notices, fundraisers, and stories you won’t find on big-city outlets.
CKJM’s reach stretches beyond the village. With 92.5 FM serving Pomquet and Antigonish County and a 97.5 FM repeater for greater Sydney, the station links Acadian communities across Cape Breton. That network matters for culture and for safety: live updates during storms, closures, and public announcements travel quickly over trusted local airwaves.
For newcomers and nostalgic expats alike, CKJM is an easy daily habit. The live stream brings Cape Breton to your phone or smart speaker, while on-air features and community interviews keep you connected to people and places you care about. If you’re searching for authentic Nova Scotia radio—local voices, Acadian pride, and a soundtrack shaped by the sea—make 106.1 CKJM your go-to.
