CJZZ is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 99.1 FM in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The station considers itself a jazz radio station, but plays music more in the easy listening pop and smooth jazz categories. It is called Cool FM.

The station is owned by CanWest Global, and shares its branding with the jazz-oriented television network CoolTV.

The station signed on in early 2003 on 99.1 FM, which was the former home in Winnipeg of CKO for a short period in 1988 and 1989.

In September 2006, Corus Entertainment, already owner of Winnipeg's CJOB and CJKR-FM, announced it would buy CJZZ, as well as Kitchener's CKBT-FM, from CanWest, subject to CRTC approval.
