Local programming

CBQR-FM carries the Nunavut regional radio service of CBC North, much of which originates at CFFB Iqaluit. The afternoon program "Tusaajaksat", which focuses on the Kivalliq region, originates from CBQR. Some of the CBC North regional programs air in both English and Inuktitut, others are only in Inuktitut.

The station also differs significantly from the main CBC Radio One schedule. "Qulliq" airs until 9 a.m. Central Time, and is followed by abbreviated broadcasts of "The Current" and "Sounds Like Canada". In the afternoons, programming in Inuktitut, including "Tausunni" from Iqaluit and "Tuttavik" from the CBC North bureau in Kuujjuaq, Quebec, air in place of the national network program "Q".

Subsequently, in the evenings, the Inuktitut cultural magazines "Ullumi Tusaqsauqaujut" and "Sinnaksautit" air at 9 and 9:30 p.m. Central Time respectively; the CBC Radio One network schedule continues at 10 p.m.
