CJMJ-FM (100.3FM) is a commercial radio station inOttawa, Ontario, Canada. The station uses its on-air brand nameMove 100, and airs anadult contemporary format. CJMJ is owned byBell Media, along with three other Ottawa radio stations and two TV stations.
CJMJ's studios and offices are located in the Bell Media Building on George Street inDowntown Ottawa'sByWard Market, while itstransmitter is located on theRyan Tower inCamp Fortune, Quebec, withinGatineau Park.[1]
CJMJ broadcasts in theHD Radio format. Its HD2 subchannel carries thenews/talk programming ofsister stationCFRA, while co-ownedsports radio stationCFGO is heard on an HD3 subchannel.
On November 9, 1989,Rawlco Communications, owner ofCFGO, was granted a license for a new FM station. Rawlco proposed to use the frequency 92.1 MHz, but that conflicted withCBO-FM, located on 91.5 MHz.[2] On April 5, 1991, Rawlco's application to use the 100.3 MHz frequency was granted.[3] The station'seffective radiated power (ERP) would be 80,000 watts.
On August 12, 1991, at 6:25 pm, the stationsigned on for the first time, with the official launch the following morning at 6 am.[4][5] The first song on "Majic" was "Do You Believe in Magic" byThe Lovin' Spoonful. On March 11, 1992, the station increased its power to 100,000 watts, with a transmitter on theRyan Tower inCamp Fortune.
CJMJ was acquired byCHUM Limited in 1999.[6] CHUM Ltd. was, in turn, acquired byCTVglobemedia in 2007, andBell Media in 2011.
Despite the ownership changes, CJMJ'ssoft adult contemporary format helped it become one of the top stations in Ottawa for most of the 1990s.
In the early 2000s, CJMJ, like mostAC stations, moved to a more upbeat direction. Around 2005, CJMJ was overtaken in the ratings bycontemporary hit radio outletCIHT-FM. CJMJ usually is ranked in the Top 5 Anglophone ratings for the Ottawa/Gatineau market according toBBM.
As of 2010, due to increased competition fromadult contemporary stationCJWL-FM (which leans towards soft adult contemporary content), CJMJ ended its longtimeoldies show airing on Sunday mornings and added more upbeathot adult contemporary songs to theplaylist. All 1960s music and most 1970s titles have been dropped as of mid-2013.Mediabase andNielsen BDS report the station on the Canadian AC panel.
On December 27, 2020, as part of a mass format reorganization by Bell Media, CJMJ rebranded asMove 100, ending almost 30 years of the "Majic" branding. While the station would run jockless for the first week of the format, on-air staff would return on January 4, 2021.[7]
