CKDJ is a Canadian radio station. It is the campus radio station of Ottawa's Algonquin College, and broadcasts at 107.9 on the FM dial.
The station launched in 1972 as a closed circuit outlet using the call letters CBRT (College Broadcasting Radio Television.) At the time, the radio and television broadcasting programs at the college were one unit, though they would later be split into two completely separate entities. It was licensed by the CRTC to broadcast on FM in 1994, and launched on October 3 of that year.
The station broadcast at 96.9 FM until 2003, when it moved to its current frequency.

U235 - CKDJ's heavy metal show hosted by Chris Chisamore and Andrew Elliot. Jesse Baker took Elliots hosting duties in mid-March when Elliot went to intern at CILV-FM. The show originally aired on Thursday Nights, but was quickly switched to Wednesday nights at 10:00 due to scheduling conflicts. Mark Steigerwald and Don MacLean occasionally appeared on the show with short profiles of bands and music scenes. U235, or Uranium-235, was used as a title for the show because it is a 'heavy metal' and the hosts wanted a clever title. Uranium is a member of the Actinide chemical series on the periodic table of the elements.
Lost in Transition - Hosts Ian Durkin, Ian "Mister Wilson" Wilson and Chris Kellet spun their own electronica with turn tables for this show. The timeslot was Wednesdays at 11:00 PM, but was quickly switched to Thursdays at 11:00 PM due to scheduling conflicts.
Top 25 - Hosts Sam Rankin and Andrew Laughrin counted down the top 25 songs of the week, as voted by the listeners at CKDJ.net. The show aired Mondays at 6:00 PM.
