CJQQ is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 92.1 FM in Timmins, Ontario. The station broadcasts a classic rock format as Q92.

The station was originally launched in 1948 by Roy Thomson as CKGB-FM, a simulcast of AM sister station CKGB's CBC Trans-Canada Network programming. Thomson sold the stations in 1972, and the FM station adopted the callsign CFTI in 1976. The stations were subsequently acquired by Telemedia in 1980.

In 1992, Telemedia adopted the station's current branding, callsign CJQQ and format, which had been successful on Telemedia's CJRQ in Sudbury.

In 2002, Standard Broadcasting purchased Telemedia, and sold all of Telemedia's Northern Ontario stations to Rogers Communications.

The station directly produces the bulk of its weekday programming, except for the noon-hour shift and overnights, which are shared with Sudbury's CJRQ. On weekends, virtually all of the station's programming, including syndicated shows, is shared with CJRQ.
