CHOZ-FM (94.7 MHz) is a Canadian radio station based in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.

[1] The station's success was driven largely by the strength of its morning show, The Dawn Patrol, hosted by Randy Snow, Deborah Birmingham and Larry Jay.

In the summer of 2003, Snow left the Dawn Patrol to join CKIX-FM to host his own morning show.

By 2004, CHOZ began shifting towards hot adult contemporary, with slogans like "More Music, More Variety" and "Newfoundland's #1 FM Station".

In April 2007, O'Connell took over as station manager for the OZ FM Network and host of the daily Electric Lunch program.

Paul Kinsman was O'Connell's on air replacement, joining longtime Dawn Patrol veterans Birmingham and Jay.

Birmingham left the station in January 2014 and her replacement on the Morning Rush was Stephanie O'Brien, previously with VOCM-FM.

In addition, CHOZ tweaked its format to playing a mix of hits from the 1990s to today, much like many other hot AC stations.

In January 2011, the Canadian Broadcast Standards Council admonished CHOZ for playing the unedited version of Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing", following a complaint from a listener that stated that the song contained the word "faggot", a slur for a homosexual person.

[2][3] In response to the ruling, at least two stations, CIRK-FM in Edmonton, Alberta[4] and CFRQ-FM in Halifax, Nova Scotia,[5] played the unedited version of Money for Nothing repeatedly for one hour out of protest.

In 1997, CHOZ added a rebroadcaster at Stockholm, Saskatchewan with the callsign CFZY-FM; the low-powered repeater is locally owned by Jody Herperger.

[14] CHOZ also originally planned to also temporarily close CIOS on the same day, but had second thoughts in doing so, and opted to keep it open from the same location instead.

On December 5, 2023, the CRTC approved an application by Newfoundland Broadcasting Company Ltd, to delete the rebroadcasting transmitters CIOZ-FM 96.3 Marystown, CJOZ-FM 92.1 Bonavista and CFAZ-FM 97.7 Gander from the licence.
