=== The Move, return to Flow (2016β2022)=== [[File:93-5 The Move logo March 2018.png|thumb|Logo as "The Move" (2016β2019)]] On February 25, 2016, CFXJ went jockless and began promoting a "big move" to take place at 8 a.m. the following Monday (February 29). At that time, after playing "[[Over (Drake song)|Over]]" by Toronto native [[Drake (musician)|Drake]], the station flipped to [[rhythmic adult contemporary]] as ''93.5 The Move'', with a focus on rhythmic and hip-hop hits from the late 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. The first song on "The Move" was "[[The Way You Move]]" by [[OutKast]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://radioinsight.com/headlines/netgnomes/105199/cfxj-toronto-to-lose-its-flow/|title=93.5 The Move Debuts In Toronto|date=February 29, 2016|website=RadioInsight|language=en-US|access-date=February 13, 2019}}</ref><ref>[https://formatchangearchive.com/flow-93-5-becomes-the-move/ Flow 93.5 Becomes The Move]</ref> CFXJ joined [[CKBE-FM|CKBE]] [[Montreal]] as the only English-language rhythmic AC outlets in Canada.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ncc.ca/docs/2015_AnnualReport-Final.pdf|title=Archived copy|access-date=March 27, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402113419/http://www.ncc.ca/docs/2015_AnnualReport-Final.pdf|archive-date=April 2, 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref> As part of the rebrand, the station also axed numerous on air hosts, including Melanie Martin of the ''JJ & Melanie'' morning show, midday host Miss Ange, and evening host Megan Coady. Weekend host J'ness moved to sister station [[CIHT-FM]] in [[Ottawa]] prior to the rebrand. On November 6, 2017, CFXJ switched back to a rhythmic contemporary format once again, while maintaining the ''Move'' branding and a small amount of rhythmic recurrents. CFXJ also changed slogans to "Toronto's Hits. Toronto's Throwbacks." before changing to "Toronto's Hip Hop".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://radioinsight.com/headlines/120821/93-5-toronto-moves-back-currents/|title=93.5 Toronto Moves Back To Currents|date=November 6, 2017|website=RadioInsight|language=en-US|access-date=February 13, 2019}}</ref> [[File:FLOW 93-5 Logo 2019.png|thumb|150px|Logo under second iteration as "Flow" (2019β2022)]] Newcap Radio was acquired by [[Stingray Group]] in October 2018.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://vocm.com/news/crtc-approves-506-million-sale-of-newcap-radio-to-stingray/|title=CRTC Approves $506-Million Sale of Newcap Radio to Stingray|website=VOCM|language=en-US|access-date=October 31, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190708103926/http://vocm.com/news/crtc-approves-506-million-sale-of-newcap-radio-to-stingray/|archive-date=July 8, 2019|url-status=dead}}</ref> On February 11, 2019, CFXJ reverted to the ''Flow 93.5'' branding and returned to an [[urban contemporary]] format.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Slingerland |first1=Calum |title=Toronto Hip-Hop Radio Station Flow 93-5 Relaunches |url=http://exclaim.ca/music/article/toronto_hip-hop_radio_station_flow_93-5_relaunches |website=exclaim.ca |access-date=February 12, 2019 |language=en-ca}}</ref>
