CHQT

In June 2024, CHQT was closed by owner Corus Entertainment as a part of company-wide cuts, and began to simulcast CHED for a transitional period.

On June 26, 2024, as part of cuts by Corus, CHQT discontinued its all-news format and began simulcasting with CHED.

[5] At the time, Corus stated that the simulcast was an interim measure, and that it would ultimately only operate one news-talk AM station in Edmonton.

[6] In August 2024, Corus announced that CHQT would close, and that CHED's branding and programming would move permanently to the 880 signal on October 9, 2024.

Corus stated that CHQT's signal had better coverage than that of CHED; while both stations operated at a power of 50 kilowatts, the 880 AM transmitter is non-directional during the day whereas 630 was directional at all times.
