CFJR-FM is a Canadian radio station broadcasting on 104.9 FM in Brockville, Ontario. The station owned by Bell Media, airs an adult contemporary format branded as 104.9 JR FM.

History

The station was launched in 1926 as CFLC at AM 1010 kHz. The station changed frequencies to 930 kHz in the early 1930s, until March 29, 1941, when it moved to 1450 kHz and moved one last time on the AM band to 830 kHz on September 19, 1985, before it moved to its current FM frequency at 104.9 FM on July 14, 2003.

In 1959, CFJR's news department hired a 21-year-old college dropout, Peter Jennings. This was Jennings debut in journalism. Many of his stories, including his coverage of a local train wreck, were picked up by the CBC and, in March 1961, he moved on to CJOH-TV, then a new television station in Ottawa.

Bruce Wylie, the morning show co-host, is the longest-tenured active talent in Bell Media Radio at more than 40 years. Today, it is also the only AC station owned by Bell Media that originated on the AM dial. It is also Bell Media's only AC station not broadcasting at 100,000 watts like its sister AC stations, CHQM-FM in Vancouver or CJMJ-FM in Ottawa.
