CJED-FM is a radio station in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. Broadcasting at 105.1 FM, the station operates a CHR format as 2Day FM. CJED's studios are located on Ontario Avenue in Niagara Falls, while its transmitter is located on the Skylon Tower next to Niagara Falls.
The station was originally launched in 1992 by Keith Dancy, the owner of AM radio station CJRN, as a tourist information station broadcasting at 91.9 FM with an effective radiated power of just 8 watts. The station operated under a series of short-term special events licenses, each initially covering either the summer tourist season or Niagara Falls' annual Winter Festival of Lights. The station's short-term licenses were granted as follows: May 29 - October 31, 1992, November 25, 1992 - January 17, 1993, May 3 - October 31, 1993, December 23, 1993 - January 31, 1995, April 7, 1995 - January 31, 1996, June 17, 1996 - January 31, 1997 and January 30, 1997 - August 31, 1998.
In 1998, the station moved to its current frequency after the adjacent 91.7 was awarded to CHOW-FM in Welland. Later that year, the station was granted its first long-term license, covering the period from 1998 to 2005.
In 2001, CFLZ and CJRN exchanged formats. CJRN took over the tourist information programming, and CFLZ adopted CJRN's music programming. The following year, CFLZ flipped formats with CKEY-FM, adopting its current adult contemporary format as CKEY, which is closer to the Buffalo market, became an urban CHR station.
