CKLQ-FM (Q Country 91.5 FM) is a commercial FM radio station in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada. In addition to its FM signal, it has a nested rebroadcaster at 880 kHz, CKLQ. The two stations simulcast a country format. They are owned and operated by Pattison Media Ltd. CKLQ-AM-FM, along with sister station CKLF-FM, have their radio studios and offices at 624 14th Street East, on Brandon's east end.
CKLQ-FM has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 100,000 watts, the current maximum for Canadian FM stations. CKLQ is powered at 10,000 watts, day and night. Because 880 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A station WHSQ in New York City, CKLQ has a directional signal at all times. At night, when radio waves travel farther, it uses a four-tower array to prevent interference to WCBS.
