Calgary Flames find new radio home at CHQR 770 AM

Calgary Flames fans are thrilled to learn that their beloved team will soon be broadcasting on QR Calgary 770 AM radio. This marks a significant return for the Flames, as the station has historically been known for broadcasting the team's Stanley Cup-winning games in 1989. Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation (CSEC) and Corus Entertainment have signed a five-year partnership agreement to broadcast all home and away games of the Calgary Flames on QR Calgary 770 AM radio, ensuring fans have a dedicated station to follow their team.

"Today marks an incredibly special time for QR Calgary 770AM," said Tammy Cole, vice-president of audio at Corus Entertainment. "As the station that broadcast the Stanley Cup-winning team's games in 1989, this is a full circle moment for us." Robert Hayes, president and CEO of CSEC, echoed this sentiment, stating, "We’re excited to share this news with our fans and, most importantly, to let them know we heard them loud and clear as we now have a new home for the future of Calgary Flames radio broadcasts."

The Flames had been searching for a new home after Calgary's sports radio station, Sportsnet 960 The Fan, ceased operations on July 7, 2025, as part of a series of radio station closures by Rogers Sports and Media. Sportsnet 960 The Fan had been broadcasting Flames games since 2001. CSEC is excited to build on the shared history with QR Calgary and create a new chapter for fans as they continue to support their team in the years to come.

In addition to the radio partnership, CSEC and Corus Entertainment will launch a new daily sports talk show called "Flames Now" for QR Calgary. This show will provide fans with game analysis, the latest team news, and more. A similar show, "Oilers Now," already airs in Edmonton on CHED 880, also owned by Corus Entertainment.
