CJTM, branded as Met Radio, is a low-powered AM campus and community radio station, owned and operated by Radio Ryerson Inc. at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University), which was granted a broadcast license by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission on December 11, 2014.[2]

The station broadcasts on 1280 kHz with a signal strength of 99 watts as well as online.[3][4][5][6][7] The station officially launched on the AM band under the call sign CJRU on March 31, 2016, after several weeks of test transmissions.[1][8]

The 1280 AM frequency was previously used by CFBN.[9] In July 2023, the station announced its call sign change to CJTM and rebrand to Met Radio, as part of the institution's overall renaming from Ryerson University to Toronto Metropolitan University.[10]
