CJMX-FM is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts a hot adult contemporary format at 105.3 FM in Sudbury, Ontario. The station uses the on-air brand KiSS 105.3. The station is owned by Rogers Communications.
CJMX was established in 1980 by F. Baxter Ricard and Alma Ricard, the owners of Sudbury's CHNO and CFBR. The stations became part of Mid-Canada Radio in 1985, and were then sold to the Pelmorex Radio Network in 1990. Pelmorex's ownership of the stations was controversial, as most of their programming was delivered by satellite from a facility in Mississauga. Under Pelmorex's ownership, the station was branded as Mix 105, and aired a more hot adult contemporary format.
After a change in CRTC media ownership rules, Pelmorex sold CJMX to Telemedia, the owner of CJRQ and CIGM, in 1998. In late April 1999, shortly after the Telemedia purchase was finalized, CJMX dropped its hot adult contemporary format in favour of a soft adult contemporary format with the EZ Rock branding. Prior to the change to EZ Rock, CJMX aired the syndicated countdown show Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 from June 1998, until its last airing on February 13, 1999. Pelmorex subsequently sold its other stations in Sudbury to Haliburton Broadcasting Group.
