CJYC-FM is a Canadian radio station broadcasting from Saint John, New Brunswick at 98.9 MHz. It is owned and operated by Maritime Broadcasting System. The station plays a classic rock format and is now branded as 98.9 Big John FM, but was known as C98 until August 2006.
The station began broadcasting in 1965 as CFBC-FM, the first FM station in New Brunswick. CFBC-FM was a companion to CFBC AM. CFBC-FM's license was revoked in 1977 for "failing to serve the public interest", but owner Fundy Broadcasting Company re-applied for, and won, an FM license. The station returned to the air in 1978 as CJYC-FM. MBS purchased CFBC and CJYC in 1997. Newcap Broadcasting briefly operated the station under MBS's purview in the late 1990s.
Morning personality Dan Reid got in big trouble for alledgedly possessing unlicensed weapons, narcotics and child pornography.
