CFMJ is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 640 on the AM dial in Toronto, Ontario. The station airs talk programming as 640 Toronto. The station first launched in 1957 under the callsign CJRH, on the 1310 frequency. It changed its call letters to CFGM in 1961. The station adopted a country music format in 1964. Don Daynard was a notable host with the station in the 1960s. The station moved to 1320 in 1978, and to 640 in 1989. On June 29, 1990, the station changed its format and call letters, broadcasting rock music as CHOG (branded 640 The Hog). Several notable radio personalities were associated with the station in the Hog era, including John Gallagher, Tarzan Dan and the legendary Toronto radio team of Jesse Dylan and Gene Valaitis. On October 11, 1995, the station changed to a talk radio format and the call letters CFYI. As Talk 640, the station aired syndicated programming such as the Joy Browne, Rhona Raskin and Dr. Laura shows, along with local programming hosted by personalities such as Valaitis, Jane Hawtin, Michael Coren and Dave Chalk. On April 23, 2001, the station adjusted its programming, dumping most of its old hosts to create a male-oriented talk station as Mojo Radio, with programs hosted by Humble and Fred, John Derringer and Art Bell, among others. The station changed its call letters again, to the current CFMJ. In 2004, the station moved away from the male-oriented imaging to a more general news and talk format as 640 Toronto. Craig Bromell joined the station in as cohost of a new late morning program, The Beat. See also: List of radio stations in Ontario.
