==History==
CJZN signed on for the first time on January 18, 1950 as '''CKDA''', initially broadcasting on 1340 [[AM
In compliance with new broadcaster regulations regarding simulcasting, on March 21, 1965, CKDA-FM ended its simulcast of its AM sister and became CFMS-FM, airing an [[easy listening]] format from noon to midnight seven days a week. In 1966, CKDA increased its power to 25,000 watts and in 1971 to 50,000 watts, and moved to 1200 AM on July 1, 1986. The station dropped its [[oldies]] format for an all-'70s music format in 1994. CKDA and CFMS founder David Armstrong died on April 22, 1985, after which point his widow, Sheridan Armstrong, took over running the stations.

On June 21, 2001, CKXM changed its call sign to the current CJZN and relaunched as

Some of those artists include: [[Jets Overhead]], [[Armchair Cynics]], [[Moneyshot (band)|Moneyshot]], [[Acres Of Lions]], [[Leeroy Stagger]], [[Kincaide]], Theset, and [[Vince Vaccaro]].
