CKDJ-FM is a Canadian radio station. It is the campus radio station of Ottawa's Algonquin College and broadcasts on 107.9 FM. CKDJ's studios and transmitter are located on campus.

The station was launched in 1972 as a closed circuit outlet using the call letters CBRT (College Broadcasting Radio Television). At the time, the radio and television broadcasting programs at the college were one unit, though they were later split into two completely separate entities. It was licensed by the CRTC to broadcast on FM in 1994, and was launched on October 3 that year.[1]

Until 2003 when it moved to its current frequency, the station broadcast at 96.9 FM with a power of only 8 watts.[2]

The station also operates a very low-power radio station at 1700 kHz on the AM dial, known as "AIR AM 1700 | All Hit Radio". [3]

U235 - CKDJ's heavy metal show hosted by Chris Chisamore and Andrew Elliot. Jesse Baker took Elliot's hosting duties in mid-March when Elliot went to intern at CILV-FM. The show was originally broadcast on Thursday nights, but was quickly switched to Wednesday nights at 10:00 due to scheduling conflicts. Mark Steigerwald and Don MacLean occasionally appeared on the show with short profiles of bands and music scenes. U235, or Uranium-235, was used as a title for the show because it is a 'heavy metal' and the hosts wanted a clever title. Uranium is a member of the Actinide chemical series on the periodic table of the elements.

Lost in Transition - Hosts Ian Durkin, Ian "Mister Wilson" Wilson and Chris Kellet spun their own electronica with turn tables for this show. The original timeslot was Wednesdays at 11pm, but this was quickly switched to Thursdays at 11pm due to scheduling conflicts.
