CHIM-FM is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts Christian music at 102.3 FM in Timmins, Ontario.

On December 24, 1995, CHIM-FM began testing its signal at 102.3 MHz and officially signed on April 7, 1996. [ [http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/eng/Decisions/1995/DB95-782.htm Decision CRTC 95-782] ] The station has expanded through a network of rebroadcast transmitters in Northern Ontario. CHIM-FM also has a rebroadcaster in Red Deer, Alberta, CHIM-FM-5, which originates some of its own programming.
