CJZZ is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 99.1 FM in Winnipeg, Manitoba. The station considers itself a jazz radio station, but plays music more in the easy listening pop and smooth jazz categories. It is called Cool FM.
The station is owned by CanWest Global, and shares its branding with the jazz-oriented television network CoolTV.

The station signed on in early 2003 on 99.1 FM, which was the former home in Winnipeg of CKO for a short period in 1988 and 1989. Originally CJZZ was broadcast from the Starbuck Communications Tower, but Canwest found this caused multipath to occur, so they applied to the CRTC to broadcast from a new transmitter that Rogers was putting up[1], and to decrease the EIRP from 100,000 to 63,700 watts.[2]
In September 2006, Corus Entertainment, already owner of Winnipeg's CJOB and CJKR-FM, announced it would buy CJZZ, as well as Kitchener's CKBT-FM, from CanWest, subject to CRTC approval.
On January 9, 2007 CJZZ-FM added Dolby Pro Logic noise reduction to its signal.
