CKDJ is a Canadian radio station. It is the campus radio station of Ottawa's Algonquin College, and broadcasts at 107.9 on the FM dial.

The station launched in 1972 as a closed circuit outlet using the call letters CBRT (College Broadcasting Radio Television.) At the time, the radio and television broadcasting programs at the college were one unit, though they would later be split into two completely separate entities. It was licensed by the CRTC to broadcast on FM in 1994, and launched on October 3 of that year.

The station broadcast at 96.9 FM until 2003, when it moved to its current frequency.
