CKRL-FM is a French-language Canadian radio station located in Quebec City, Quebec.

The station operates under a community radio licence and is owned by a non-profit group known as CKRL-MF 89,1 inc. It broadcasts on 89.1 MHz with an effective radiated power of 1,495 watts (class A) using an omnidirectional antenna, broadcasting from Edifice Marie-Guyart in downtown Quebec City.

CKRL-FM began broadcasting on 15 February 1973 at 5pm[1] and was originally a campus radio station for the Université Laval.[2] This situation ceased in 1984, although the name of the corporation remained "Campus Laval FM inc." for many years thereafter. The station 94.3 CHYZ-FM became the new campus radio station for the university in 1997.

The station is a member of the Association des radiodiffuseurs communautaires du Québec.
