CJFO-FM (branded as 94,5 Unique FM) is a radio station which broadcasts a francophone community radio format on the frequency 94.5 FM/MHz in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Owned by Radio de la communauté francophone d'Ottawa (RCFO), the station received CRTC approval on February 4, 2010.[1]

The station officially launched at 6 a.m. on November 15, 2010 after a testing period that began in September 2010.[2]

While the Ottawa-Gatineau market is served by several francophone stations, CJFO is the first station in the market targeted specifically to the Franco-Ontarian audience in Ottawa and Eastern Ontario. The commercial francophone outlets are licensed to Gatineau and primarily target listeners on the Quebec side of the Ottawa River. The Radio-Canada outlets focus on not only the National Capital Region, but Canada as a whole.

The station is the francophone radio broadcast partner for the Ottawa Senators and the Ottawa Titans.[3]

CJFO's studios are located in Vanier, while its transmitter is located in Camp Fortune, Quebec.

The station is a member of the Alliance des radios communautaires du Canada.
