acquire most radio stations owned by Corus Entertainment in Quebec. In the summer of 2010, the station's main tagline became "More Music Variety" along with new jingles, retaining the catchphrase "The Q's just right for you!". The Q also began running 92 minutes of commercial-free music during the daytime, replacing 10-songs-in-a-row format introduced in April 2009. In late July, "The Last Word with Maureen Holloway" was cancelled due to the station's pending sale from Corus to Cogeco, as Holloway works for Corus. The feature was replaced with "Startalk with Bartok", with Sarah Bartok. On December 17, 2010, the CRTC approved the sale of most of Corus' radio stations in Quebec, including CFQR, to Cogeco. CFQR is Cogeco's first English-language radio station, as all of its other stations are francophone. The deal was finalized on February 1, 2011. On May 26, 2011 (following his announcement in February), morning host Rand aired his final show on CFQR, and moved to host an afternoon talk show on 800 CJAD. The Beat (2011-present) On August 24, 2011, the station went jockless, and began airing liners promoting that "The Beat of Montreal is coming", along with a countdown clock on its website to 4 p.m. on September 6, which said underneath "You're Going To Feel It!" At that time, CFQR flipped to Rhythmic AC as 9-2-5 The Beat (the 9-2-5 pronounced as "9 to 5"). The last song on "The Q" was "Never Say Goodbye" by Bon Jovi, while the first song on "The Beat" was "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" by Michael Jackson. Shortly after the rebrand, the station changed its call letters to CKBE-FM. The station's playlist features upbeat Rhythmic Pop/Dance currents mixed-in with Hot AC fare, while the softer and older mainstream AC tracks were phased out along with the more mainstream Hot AC fare, apparently to become more competitive and hit-driven with CJFM. CKBE's playlist direction is similar to New York City's WKTU, given Montreal's history of being a mecca for Disco and Dance music. In June 2013, CKBE-FM's ratings exceeded those of Hot AC-formatted CJFM among overall listeners. On November 29, 2013, the CRTC approved an application for the station to increase its power from 41,400 to 100,000 watts and its antenna height from 297.4 (975') to 298.9 metres (980') (HAAT). In August 2014, Sam Zniber was named program director. In November 2014, "All Access with Anne-Marie Withenshaw" was cancelled after
