About

CHEZ 106 (CHEZ-FM) is a commercial radio station in Ottawa, ON, broadcasting on 106.1 FM in a mainstream rock format that blends both classic and modern rock. First launched on March 25, 1977, the station originally targeted younger audiences aged 18–34 with album-oriented rock and experimental programming. Over time, the format expanded to include a broader spectrum of rock, with a strong emphasis on timeless classics. In 1999, ownership shifted to Rogers Radio under Rogers Sports & Media, solidifying its place in the region’s radio landscape. Today, programming highlights include The Biggs & Barr Show in the mornings and specialty rock features on weekends.

With its rich history, diverse rock lineup, and strong community presence, CHEZ 106 continues to be a defining voice for rock fans in Ottawa.
