  1. CHQT (880 kHz, "Global News Radio 880 Edmonton") is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Edmonton, Alberta. Owned by Corus Entertainment, the station broadcasts an all-news format.
  2.  
  3. CHQT broadcasts with a power of 50,000 watts, using a non-directional antenna in the daytime. But because AM 880 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A WCBS in New York City, CHQT must use a directional antenna at night to protect WCBS from interference. iNews 880 can be heard in AM stereo using the C-QUAM system. It can also be received on 93.5 MHz on Shaw Cable FM.
