About CHOI Radio X
CHOI 98.1 FM, branded Radio X, is a French-language rock and talk station in Quebec City whose year-end countdowns for 2004, 2005 and 2007 are archived on RockLists.
CHOI-FM became the most listened-to radio station in Quebec City in the early 2000s under owner Genex Communications, combining a hard-edged rock playlist with outspoken talk programming. In July 2004 the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission declined to renew the station's licence over the conduct of its talk hosts, prompting a march of roughly 50,000 supporters through Quebec City and a demonstration in Ottawa. The station stayed on the air while it appealed, and the dispute was finally resolved when the licence was transferred to RNC Media in 2006.
Radio X continues to broadcast a rock format alongside its talk shows, and its year-end countdowns, listed here as the Top 98 and Top 101 Songs of the Year, mix international alternative and hard rock hits with Quebec artists.
