The station has an English language news/talk radio format and identifies itself on-air as CJAD 800. Owned and operated by Bell Media, it has a daytime power of 50,000 watts but reduces power to 10,000 watts at night to avoid interfering with other stations on AM 800.

Local hosts are heard throughout the day and evening with a few syndicated shows also carried: Coast to Coast AM with George Noory.

Affiliated with CBS Radio for many years, in 2018 the station, along with many other Bell-owned talk radio stations in Canada, switched to NBC Radio and 24/7 News for U.S. and international news.

CJAD and co-owned 690 CKGM are currently the only two full-time commercial English-language stations in Quebec on the AM dial.

Kelly Lapare is the evening weekday anchor on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with Luciano Pipia delivering newscasts on Thursday and Friday evenings (Pipia is also CJAD’s weekend afternoon anchor).

It was later announced that Natasha Hall and Aaron Rand’s afternoon and evening shows would be replaced by a co-hosted afternoon show, and that a simulcast of CTV News at 6 would also be added to its lineup.

The cuts were among 210 across the company, which also included a similar elimination of staff at Toronto sister station CFRB .
