Perspective
On May 9, 2008, Larche Communications received approval from the CRTC to operate a new FM radio station at 92.3 MHz in Owen Sound.[1] The CJOS call sign formerly belonged to a religious station in Caronport, Saskatchewan, which ceased broadcasting in 2006.[2][3]
On June 9, 2010, CJOS received CRTC approval to decrease their effective radiated power from 20,000 watts to 9,400 watts.[4] The station officially signed on the air with a mix of rock music and classic hits as 92.3 The Dock on July 26, 2010.[5]
On August 9, 2017, Bell Media announced that it would acquire CJOS from Larche Communications.[6] Bell Media received approval from the CRTC on February 14, 2018.[7]
As part of a mass format reorganization by Bell Media, on May 18, 2021, CJOS dropped its 92.3 The Dock branding, shifted to adult hits, and adopted the Bounce branding.[8]
On February 8, 2024, Bell announced that it would sell CJOS to ZoomerMedia, as part of a reorganization of its radio division.[9] The CRTC approved the sale on December 12, 2024.[10]
On April 2, 2025, ZoomerMedia flipped CJOS to oldies as "Zoomer 92.3", with a new lineup maintaining some of the station's existing personalities (including morning hosts Ted Easton and Diana Meder) and adding new specialty programming.[11][12]
