Owned and operated by Bell Media, it broadcasts on 98.9 MHz with an effective radiated power of 41,000 watts (class C1) using an omnidirectional antenna.

The station has a mainstream rock format and is part of the "Énergie" network which operates across Quebec.

CHIK started operations on July 29, 1982,[1] as a sister station to the now-defunct CJRP and originally had an easy listening format, similar to CITF-FM and CHOI-FM as per their respective conditions of licence.

CHIK switched to a CHR format a few years after opening because there were too many easy listening stations in the Quebec City radio market.
