CJMJ-FM (100.3 FM) is a commercial radio station in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The station uses its on-air brand name Move 100, and airs an adult contemporary format. CJMJ is owned by Bell Media, along with three other Ottawa radio stations and two TV stations.

CJMJ's studios and offices are located in the Bell Media Building on George Street in Downtown Ottawa's ByWard Market, while its transmitter is located on the Ryan Tower in Camp Fortune, Quebec, within Gatineau Park.

CJMJ broadcasts in the HD Radio format. Its HD2 subchannel carries the news/talk programming of sister station CFRA, while co-owned sports radio station CFGO is heard on an HD3 subchannel.

On November 9, 1989, Rawlco Communications, owner of CFGO, was granted a license for a new FM station. Rawlco proposed to use the frequency 92.1 MHz, but that conflicted with CBO-FM, located on 91.5 MHz. On April 5, 1991, Rawlco's application to use the 100.3 MHz frequency was granted. The station's effective radiated power (ERP) would be 80,000 watts.

On August 12, 1991, at 6:25 pm, the station signed on for the first time, with the official launch the following morning at 6 am. The first song on "Majic" was "Do You Believe in Magic" by The Lovin' Spoonful. On March 11, 1992, the station increased its power to 100,000 watts, with a transmitter on the Ryan Tower in Camp Fortune.

CJMJ was acquired by CHUM Limited in 1999. CHUM Ltd. was, in turn, acquired by CTVglobemedia in 2007, and Bell Media in 2011.

Despite the ownership changes, CJMJ's soft adult contemporary format helped it become one of the top stations in Ottawa for most of the 1990s.
