'''CIOO-FM''' is a Canadian [[adult contemporary]] formatted radio station, broadcasting at 100.1 [[FM broadcasting|FM]] in [[Halifax, Nova Scotia|Halifax]], [[Nova Scotia]]. The station uses the on-air brand name ''[[Move Radio|Move]] 100''. It was originally owned by [[Toronto]] based [[CHUM Limited]] until the company's buy-out by [[CTVglobemedia]] in 2007, and then [[Bell Media]] in 2011. CIOO's studios are located at the intersection of Russell and Agricola Streets in Halifax (right behind sister station [[CJCH-DT]]), with its transmitter located on Washmill Lake Drive in [[Clayton Park, Nova Scotia|Clayton Park]].

==History==
In 1976, Radio 920, Ltd., a division of [[CHUM Limited]], applied to the [[Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission]] for a new [[FM radio]] station broadcasting at 100,000 watts with a dial position of 100.1&nbsp;MHz. This would be the third FM radio station in Halifax after FM stations [[CBH-FM]] and [[CHFX-FM]]. Radio 920, Ltd. also owned [[CTV Television Network|CTV]] affiliate [[CJCH-DT|CJCH-TV]] and [[CJCH-FM|CJCH-AM]]. The CRTC subsequently approved the application.

On November 1, 1977, CIOO began broadcasting as an [[easy listening]] station using the branding ''C100''. As a new decade approached, CIOO changed its programming format to [[album rock]]. This gave listeners an opportunity to hear more than just the [[top 40]] hits from a particular artist, such as other songs not yet on AM radio. In 1983, [[CHUM Limited]] tested a simulcast project with new TV station [[Atlantic Satellite Network|ASN]] by airing ''Atlantic Canada's Choice'', counting down the week's best albums from 20 to 1 that was simulcast on both radio and TV and hosted by Geoff Banks. This lasted until spring 1985, where the station again reformatted its programming.

The spring of 1985 saw the station take on another programming angle, [[Top 40]] along with [[oldies]], such as [[The Beach Boys]] among others. This format was phased out not long after, when the station moved towards [[adult contemporary]]. The station utilized such slogans as "Lite Rock... Less Talk", "Great Light Rock Hits" and "...Even More Lite Rock Hits". CIOO moved to a [[Hot AC]] format in 1993. Like most hot AC stations in Canada, CIOO leaned rhythmic, though not as heavy as sister station [[CHUM-FM]]/[[Toronto]]. With sister station [[CJCH-FM]] adopting a [[Rhythmic contemporary|Rhythmic]]/[[Dance music|Dance]] Top 40 presentation by 2013, CIOO modified its playlist towards a conventional [[Adult Top 40]] direction. New sister stations since 2013 are [[Truro, Nova Scotia|Truro]]-based [[CKTY-FM]] and [[CKTO-FM]].

On December 21, 1984, CHUM Limited was denied a license to add an FM transmitter at 94.9&nbsp;MHz in [[Middleton, Nova Scotia|Middleton]] to rebroadcast the programming of CIOO.<ref>[https://crtc.gc.ca/eng/archive/1984/db84-1049.htm Decision CRTC 84-1049]</ref>

On December 27, 2020, as part of a mass format reorganization by Bell Media, CIOO rebranded as ''[[Move Radio|Move]] 100'', ending 43 years of the "C100" branding. While the station would run jockless for the first week of the format, on-air staff would return on January 4, 2021.<ref>[https://radioinsight.com/headlines/203466/bell-media-moves-ten-stations-to-new-branding/ Bell Media Moves Ten Stations to New Branding]</ref>

In 2022, CIOO flipped to [[adult contemporary]].

==Features (as "C100")==
* ''The Breakfast Club'' was the weekday morning program on CIOO. The show aired from 6:30am–10:00am, having extended from its old hours of 6:00am–9:00am. It was originally hosted by Kelly Latremouille, Peter Harrison and Moya Farrell until mid-2007. Latremouille had debuted with the station in the summer of 1993, replacing John Biggs, who took Latremouille's position with [[CJCH-FM|92 CJCH AM]] at that time. After Latremouille's departure in late June 2007, Adam Marriott became an interim host along with Harrison and Farrell. On August 17, 2008, Brad Dryden joined the Breaskfast Club as Latremouille's replacement. In August 2015, JC Douglas became Dryden's replacement on the Show. In January 2017, Melody Rose became Farrell's replacement after she retired from the station after 35 years. In November 2020, Douglas and Rose were released by Bell Media citing "programming changes".<ref>{{cite web |title=Revolving Door |url=https://broadcastdialogue.com/revolving-door-36/ |website=Broadcast Dialogue |access-date=3 December 2020}}</ref> In January 2021, Erin Hopkins joined Peter Harrison on the MOVE 100 Morning Show.

Long before the Breakfast Club, the station used one DJ personality. Geoff Banks hosted the morning show for the better part of the 1980s, before Biggs took over and shortly thereafter.

* ''The Top 9 at 9'' was a countdown of the day's most requested songs. It was heard each weekday morning and weeknight at 9:00. When this show first aired in 1993, it was the ''Top 7 at 7''. Currently, it moved back to the latter name.
* ''Retro Request Sunday with Nicolle'', heard every Sunday morning from 8am-noon, focused on music from the 1980s. When the 80's boom started its resurgence in 1995, CIOO ran the program from 8–10:00am on Saturday mornings. This time slot lasted for around 8 years, with the format sometimes running from 8:00 till noon.
* The ''Atlantic Canada Countdown with Matt & Deb'' was CIOO's weekly countdown of the most popular music of the week in Atlantic Canada. It was heard Sunday mornings from 8 to 10 AM.

CIOO formerly broadcast the radio version of the [[MuchMoreMusic]] countdown, but stopped airing it sometime in 2007.

* The ''C100 Summer Cruiser'' was a mobile prize machine team who broadcast their secret location around the Halifax Regional Municipality multiple times throughout the day all summer. Prizes varied every summer but have included free concert tickets, movie passes, museum passes, gift certificates, C100 "gear" and a chance to fill out a ballot to win a weekly prize or $1,000 prize. A later addition to the prize rotation were C100 window stickers. Although no official contest regarding the stickers had been announced, there was growing speculation that it would be something quite worthwhile.

CIOO branded itself as playing the most music for Halifax <ref>http://www.iheartradio.ca/c100-fm/audio-video/non-stop-music-on-c100-1.2494317{{Dead link|date=October 2019|bot=InternetArchiveBot|fix-attempted=yes}}</ref> with:
* ''100 Minutes of Commercial Free Music'' aired weekdays 9:00am – 10:40am.
* ''60 Minutes of Commercial Free Drive Home'' aired weekdays 4:00pm – 5:00pm.
* ''40 Minutes of Commercial Free Music'' aired every hour, every day.

Every Year on New Year's Eve, CIOO played the top 100 songs of the radio stations of that year.
