CJOS-FM (Bounce 92.3) is a Canadian radio station, that broadcasts an adult hits format at 92.3 FM in Owen Sound, Ontario. The station is owned by Bell Media. [1]

History

On May 9, 2008, Larche Communications received approval from the CRTC to operate a new FM radio station at 92.3 MHz in Owen Sound. [2] The CJOS call sign formerly belonged to a religious station in Caronport, Saskatchewan, which ceased broadcasting in 2006.

On June 9, 2010, CJOS received CRTC approval to decrease their effective radiated power from 20,000 watts to 9,400 watts.[3] The station officially signed on the air with a mix of rock music and classic hits as 92.3 The Dock - The Greatest Hits of All Time on July 26, 2010. [4]

On August 9, 2017, Bell Media announced that it would acquire CJOS from Larche Communications.[5] Bell Media received approval from the CRTC on February 14, 2018.[6]

As part of a mass format reorganization by Bell Media, on May 18, 2021, CJOS dropped its 92.3 The Dock branding, shifted to adult hits, and adopted the Bounce branding.[7]
