CJFO-FM is a radio station which broadcasts a francophone community radio format on the frequency 94.5 FM in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Owned by Radio de la communauté francophone d’Ottawa, the station received CRTC approval to use the 94.5 MHz frequency on February 4, 2010.〔(Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2010-55 )〕 The station officially launched at 6 a.m. on November 15, 2010 after a testing period that began in September 2010.〔(Le Droit: "L'aventure de CJFO-94,5 FM commence lundi", November 12, 2010. )〕 Although the Ottawa-Gatineau market is served by several francophone commercial stations, they are all licensed to Gatineau and target listeners east of the Ottawa River. CJFO is the first station in the market targeted specifically to the Franco-Ontarian audience in Ottawa and Eastern Ontario. The station now identifies itself as Unique FM and is the French radio broadcast partner for the Ottawa Senators. CJFO's studios are located in Vanier, while its transmitter is located in Camp Fortune, Quebec. ==History== On November 21, 2008, federal Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages James Moore issued a statement calling on the CRTC to review its prior approval of two new stations in the Ottawa area, Astral Media's CJOT-FM and Frank Torres' CIDG-FM. Moore asked the commission to assess whether the francophone population of the Ottawa-Gatineau area was sufficiently well-served by existing French radio services, and to consider licensing one or more of the French language applications — which included a Christian music station, a community radio station and a campus radio station for the Université du Québec en Outaouais — in addition to or instead of the approved stations.〔("The Government of Canada Refers Decisions on Radio in the Ottawa-Gatineau Region Back to CRTC" ), November 21, 2008.〕〔(Broadcasting Notice of Consultation CRTC 2009-2 ), January 8, 2009〕 In the resulting round of hearings, Torres proposed that a new francophone station could be licensed on 94.5 FM, although such a station would be second-adjacent to Astral's CIMF-FM.〔("Language card played in bid for radio spot on FM dial" ). ''Ottawa Citizen'', April 14, 2009.〕 Industry Canada subsequently aired a testing signal on 94.5 in May 2009 to determine whether the signal could be used without impacting CIMF.〔Scott Fybush, ("On Memorial Day, No On-Air 'Rewound'" ). ''NorthEast Radio Watch'', May 25, 2009.〕 The test found that the signal could be used without causing significant interference to CIMF, and Astral consequently gave its consent to the use of the frequency as long as the company retained authorization to launch CJOT.〔Scott Fybush, ("The End of Analog" ).
