The multilingual programming is primarily Greek but also includes broadcasts in the following languages: Arabic, Armenian, Caribbean, Haitian, Latino, Romanian and Russian. Another station in Montreal to carry an adult hits format would be the French-language CJVD-FM 100.1 in Vaudreuil-Dorion, Quebec, since that station signed on the air three years after Mike FM came to CKDG-FM.

For many years CKOI-FM was the most popular station in Montreal according to BBM Canada ratings using full coverage reach numbers (as opposed to central reach numbers which only take into account listeners from the central market area); however, full coverage reach numbers are no longer available for Montreal radio stations as BBM now relies on the Portable People Meter (PPM) technology to measure ratings in Montreal. It currently ranks second in the Montreal ratings behind French-language adult contemporary CFGL-FM (105,7 Rythme FM).

    Ever since CJFM-FM became Virgin Radio in 2009, WYUL adopted CJFM-FM's secondary former slogan, Montreal's #1 Hit Music Station, but used "Channel" instead.
