640 Toronto

640 Toronto is a Toronto news and talk station on the AM dial, with the call sign CFIQ. It was long known as Global News Radio 640, a name dropped in 2022, and it still shares a newsroom with Global News. The schedule includes news bulletins, traffic, weather, interviews, talk shows and phone-ins, presented in English by well-known hosts. The tone is informative and conversational.

The station is licensed to Richmond Hill, Ontario, is owned by Corus Entertainment and has its studios at the Corus Quay building in Toronto. As a commercial service, it carries advertising and promotional messages between programmes. Because it is delivered over the internet, it is not tied to a single frequency, and it can be heard wherever you have a connection. The stream runs around the clock, so there is always something to hear whatever the hour.

Canada has a diverse radio landscape, with the public CBC and Radio-Canada services, large commercial groups, campus and community stations and many multilingual and online broadcasters. The stream is delivered as MP3 at 128 kbps, a standard quality that sounds clear on most devices and keeps data use moderate. It plays in your browser on RadioKite without installation, and you can add it to your favourites.
