CFXJ-FM (93.5 FM, "New Country 93.5") is a radio station in Toronto, Ontario. Owned by Stingray Radio, it broadcasts a country music format. Its studios are located on Yonge Street at St. Clair Avenue in Toronto's Deer Park neighbourhood.
CFXJ was Canada's first Black-owned radio station, and was launched on February 9, 2001 under the on-air brand of Flow 93.5. From its launch through 2022, the station gravitated between various urban and rhythmic contemporary formats, maintaining the Flow branding for all but a three-year period from 2016 to 2019 where it branded as The Move instead.
The station went through several ownership changes, with CTVglobemedia buying the station in 2010, followed by Newcap Broadcasting in 2013 (as a condition of Bell Media's acquisition of Astral Media). Newcap was acquired by Stingray Group in 2018. In 2022, the station dropped the Flow format and flipped to adult hits as Today Radio, with Stingray reaching an agreement with the new owner of fellow urban station CKFG-FM to move the Flow branding there. In August 2024, the format was dropped, and the station began to soft launch a new country music format—which formally launched on September 3, 2024 as New Country 93.5.
CFXJ has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 1,058 watts (3,706 watts peak). The main transmitter is located atop First Canadian Place in Toronto's Financial District.
