CJQC-FM, branded as Queens County Community Radio is a Canadian radio station that broadcasts at 99.3 FM in Liverpool, Nova Scotia.

The station was officially launched on June 19, 2008 under a temporary special events licence. Its business plan was to operate throughout the summer of 2008 in order to gauge community support for the station and complete its formal application for a permanent licence.

On September 15, 2009, the station received CRTC approval for a full-time licence to operate at 99.3 MHz. [1] The general manager at that time was the Canadian broadcaster Alex J. Walling.

In March 2011, Walling suffered a stroke, which led to the deterioration of the station's operations and the verge of bankruptcy. In June 2012, Walling sold the assets of the station to the CJQC Radio Society, a non-profit community organization. In November 2012, the CJQC Radio Society applied for a new licence, for a station which operates at the same frequency of 99.3 MHz at the same parameters as the old licence. CRTC licensing was approved.
