CKRK-FM is an English-language Canadian radio station located in the Kahnawake Mohawk Territory, a First Nations reserve near Montreal, Quebec. It broadcasts on 103.7 MHz with an effective radiated power of 250 watts (class A1) using an omnidirectional antenna.{{Cn|date=January 2025}} Reception is also possible on the island of Montreal, particularly in the south and southwest sectors of the island.{{Cn|date=January 2025}}

CKRK-FM was originally on 103.5 MHz with only 50 watts; it moved to its current frequency and raised its power in 1996,[http://www.crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/1994/DB94-156-1.htm Decision CRTC 94-156-1] after another station, CJLM-FM, signed on the same channel in Joliette, causing interference.

The station went on the air on March 30, 1981, and identifies itself as "K1037 THE MONSTER”. Over the years the station has played several formats and currently is playing Classic Hits.

In the fall of 2008, K1037, in conjunction with and with the assistance of the Kahnawake Fire Brigade, held a 55-hour-long Radio-thon to raise funds towards the purchase of a new ladder truck for the Brigade. K1037 was successful in raising over $450,000 Canadian towards the $1.1 million price tag for the vehicle.

On April 19, 2010, Montreal radio legend Ted Bird joined the morning show at K1037 after having left CHOM 97-7, his radio home of 25 years. He left CKRK-FM on May 7, 2012.
