CHIK-FM is a French-language Canadian radio station located in Quebec City, Quebec.

Owned and operated by Astral 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 contemporary hit radio format and is part of the Énergie network which operates across Quebec.

CHIK-FM started operations on July 29, 1982, [1] as a sister station to the now-defunct CJRP 1060 and originally had an easy listening format, similar to what CITF-FM and CHOI-FM then had as per their respective conditions of licence; it switched to a contemporary hit radio format a few years after opening because there were too many easy listening stations in the Quebec City market.
