CJMR is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts multicultural programming at AM 1320 in Mississauga, Ontario.

Originally a daytimer on AM 1190, CJMR was launched in 1974 by the owners of CHWO.^[1] In 1990, the station moved to its current frequency ^[2] and began a 24-hour broadcast schedule. Formerly a mixture of multilingual and Christian programming, CJMR moved to exclusively multilingual programming in 2001 when the religious programming moved to the new CJYE.

In 1986, the station was denied a licence to move to the FM dial. ^[3]

CJMR's programming is mainly South Asian (Hindi and Punjabi) with some Bengali, Croatian, Dutch, Gujarati, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, Ukrainian and Urdu programming in the evenings and on weekends.
