CKSJ-FM, branded as Coast 101.1, is a Canadian radio station broadcasting in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. Approved by the CRTC in 2003, the station began broadcasting on February 12, 2004, and is the most recent radio station to have launched in that city. It is owned by Coast Broadcasting, a 50/50 joint venture between local businessman Andrew Bell and longtime St. John's radio personality Andy Newman.

While launching as an adult contemporary station, it now defines its format as classic hits, concentrating primarily on older music. As of 2011, the station's classic hits format consists of 70's 80's and 90's music.

Specialty programs airing on the station include The 70's with Charlie Tuna, and Cool Jazz on the Coast hosted by Bill Sharpe.

On August 1, 2014 Coast Broadcasting was given permission to add a new FM transmitter near Clarenville, simulcasting CKSJ-FM in areas where reception of the primary signal is difficult. The new Clarenville transmitter went on the air in July 2015. CKSJ-FM-1 broadcasts on 107.5FM to Clarenville and area.
