About

Mix 98.5 (CITM-FM) is a radio station based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, broadcasting a hot adult contemporary music format. The station originally launched on February 20, 2006, under the call sign CJWL-FM and the branding "Jewel 98.5". At that time, it featured a blend of soft adult contemporary tracks and timeless standards, appealing to a more relaxed listening audience.

In May 2021, the station underwent a rebrand to Lite 98.5, maintaining its adult contemporary roots but shifting focus toward more current and popular hits. A major change came in September 2024, when it was announced that the station would be sold to Torres Media. On November 1, 2024, Torres Media began operating the station under a new interim brand, Mix 98.5, along with a new call sign: CITM-FM.

Today, Mix 98.5 delivers a dynamic and engaging playlist, spanning from iconic hits of the 1980s to today’s chart-toppers. The station targets listeners who enjoy a balanced mix of familiar classics and modern favorites, with programming designed to suit the pace of daily life.

    It was a solid good radio station when it was just Jewel 98.5 but now it is almost like sister station of 89.9 and I always enjoyed Codi/Brian Team. I still listen but do not like your Mix bag format

    Terrible music selections! You just lost a customer, unless you go back to soft music.
