CJJM-FM

CJJM-FM is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 99.3 FM in Espanola, Ontario. The station currently airs an adult contemporary format and is branded on-air as 99.3 Moose FM. The station is owned by Vista Radio.

Originally owned by Joco Communications, the station was licensed by the CRTC on July 19, 2007.^[1]

CJJM began testing at 99.3 FM in late 2007 and officially began broadcasting in spring 2008. The station offered an adult contemporary/classic hits format with some specialty programming, similar to the format of Joco's CFSF-FM in Sturgeon Falls. However, unlike CFSF's bilingual format, CJJM broadcasts exclusively in English.

The launch of CJJM-FM 99.3 in Espanola is the areas first local FM radio station since an unrelated radio station CKNS AM 930 Espanola left the air in 1997 to be replaced by CKNR-FM Elliot Lake.

In May 2010, an application by Haliburton Broadcasting Group to acquire the station was received by the CRTC. This application was approved on August 12 of that year.^[2] Formerly branded as Joco Radio, the station was rebranded to 99.3 Moose FM in September 2010 with an adult hits format including some current hits. Joco subsequently sold CFSF-FM to Haliburton to a separate transaction in late 2010.

On April 23, 2012 Vista Broadcast Group, which owns a number of radio stations in western Canada, announced a deal to acquire Haliburton Broadcasting, in cooperation with Westerkirk Capital.^[3] The transaction was approved by the CRTC on October 19, 2012.^[4]
