CJUK-FM is a Canadian radio station, broadcasting at 99.9 FM in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The station broadcasts a hot adult contemporary/adult CHR format with the brand name Magic 99.9. The station is owned by Newcap Broadcasting.

The station was first licensed as a low-power station by the CRTC in 2000, and launched in August of 2001 with an ERP of just 37 watts. In 2003, the station's owners, Big Pond Communications, applied to the CRTC to increase the station's signal to 15,000 watts, on the grounds that with a signal that could not adequately reach some parts of the city, the station was economically not viable.

However, the CRTC determined that in the previous year's BBM ratings, there was no evidence that the station's audience had geographic gaps in the city. In addition, competing commercial broadcasters noted that the launch of CJUK had significantly affected their own economic stability, and alleged that the station was merely using a "back door" approach toward winning a protected Class A license. The application was consequently denied.

In 2005, the station was acquired by Newcap.

On September 24 2006, Magic morning host Rob Brown passed away suddenly after a short battle with cancer. On October 5 2006, CJUK (as well as sister station CKTG-FM, and Dougall Media's CJSD-FM & CFQK-FM) aired a commercial free, 1 hour special dedicated to the life and career of Rob Brown. At the end of the show, Magic 99.9 program director Doug Elliott officially announced that the Magic studio had been renamed the "Rob Brown Studio".
