CJAD (800 AM) is a commercial radio station operating in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. 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. The transmitter is located near Saint-Édouard, while studios and offices are located on René-Lévesque Boulevard East in Downtown Montreal. CJAD can be heard across Canada on Bell Satellite TV channel 953.^[1]

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

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