Discours (en anglais) du Maire de Montréal Jean Drapeau, invité d'honneur pour célébrer les nouvelles installations des studios de CJAD 800 AM en 1960 : «It was with the greatest of pleasure that I accepted the kind invitation of the management to assist the day of the official opening of the new studios of radio station CJAD, and to pay a tribute to our good friend Monsieur J. Arthur Dupont, the founder of the first CJAD station in 1945. I am told that at that time the station began with 24 employees which have now been increased to sixty. Its original power was 1 kilowatt, increased to 5 kilowatts in 1948 and now is rated at 10 kilowatts. Without being an expert in these matters I have been able to realize that this station is equipped with the finest and most modern facilities. It has kept pace with every improvement and today is a leading English source of entertainment, information and an exponent of every phase of the arts. It is truly the sound of quality in Montreal. Without the least ... forethought, it strikes me that it took a good solid French Canadian to perfect a good English broadcasting station .»
