CFXJ-FM is a Canadian radio station broadcasting at 93.5 FM in Toronto, Ontario owned by Newcap Radio. The station signed on the air in 2001 as Canada's first urban contemporary radio station under the brand name Flow 93-5, but has since alternated between urban and rhythmic contemporary formats until October 2014, when it shifted to a classic hip hop/R&B format, and then to Rhythmic AC as 93-5 The Move as of February 29, 2016.
CFXJ's studios are located at Yonge and St. Clair in Toronto's Deer Park neighbourhood, while its transmitter is located at the top of First Canadian Place in Toronto's Financial District.
Milestone Radio, a company incorporated by Denham Jolly, first applied to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) for an urban music station in 1989, but were passed over in favour of a country music station, CISS. They applied again in 1997, and were passed over in favour of CBLA, the city's existing Radio One station, which the CBC wanted to move to FM for technical reasons.
Both decisions sparked controversy in Toronto, as the CRTC's reasons for passing over an urban-format station (which Toronto did not have) in favour of existing radio services were believed to be racist in nature. The lack of an urban station also created immense difficulties for Canadian hip hop, reggae and R&B musicians, who had no radio outlets in Canada to play and promote their music.
