CHQT (880 AM, 630 CHED) is a commercial radio station licensed to Edmonton, Alberta. Owned by Corus Entertainment, the station currently serves as a rebroadcaster of sister station CHED.

CHQT broadcasts with a power of 50,000 watts, using a non-directional antenna in the daytime. But because AM 880 is a clear channel frequency, CHQT must use a directional antenna at night. The station can be heard in AM stereo using the C-QUAM system.

According to the Numeris Winter 2018-2019 Meter Ratings Report, the station ranked 18th (out of 19 stations measured)^[1]

As of February 28, 2021, CHQT was the 16th-most-listened-to radio station in the Edmonton market according to a PPM data report released by Numeris.^[2]
