CHLT-FM is a French-language Canadian radio station located in Sherbrooke, Quebec.

Owned and operated by Corus Entertainment, it broadcasts on 102.1 MHz using a directional antenna with an average effective radiated power of 5,800 watts and a peak effective radiated power of 23,000 watts (class B). The station moved to the FM band on August 20, 2007 [1]; the station will continue to broadcast for a year on its former AM frequency, namely 630 kHz with a daytime power of 10,000 watts and a nighttime power of 5,000 watts as a class B station, using a directional antenna with slightly different daytime and nighttime directional patterns in order to protect various other stations on that frequency.

The station has a news/talk format and is part of the Corus Québec (formerly Radiomédia) network which operates across Quebec.

The call sign CHLT-FM was previously used by CITE-FM-1, which was originally created in the 1960s as a sister station of CHLT.
