CIOI is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 101.5 FM in Hamilton, Ontario. It is the campus radio station of the city's Mohawk College.

CIOI was originally launched in 1975 as CHMR, broadcasting on carrier current and cable FM. The station launched on FM in 1998.

The station is used as a teaching outlet for the college's Broadcasting and Communications program. Although, any student at the college may volunteer to work at the station, priority is generally given to students who are currently studying in the Broadcasting and Communications course.

CIOI's basic playlist consists of "non-mainstream" music such as local bands and new music, but also has specialty programming. Programming may consist of cultural and ethnic broadcasts, plus classical and jazz music.
