CJRN

CJRN

CJRN is a radio station in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, which airs tourist information programming at AM 710. The "RN" in the call is for Radio Niagara.

The station was launched by local businessman B. H. Bedford in 1947, with the callsign CHVC. Originally on the AM 1600 frequency, the station's studios were originally located under the Rainbow Bridge and in 1965 moved to Clifton Hill.

The station was acquired by Radio Niagara in 1964, and adopted the CJRN calls that year. In 1970, the station moved to its current frequency, and in 1978, Radio Niagara was acquired by local businessman Keith Dancy. In 1986, Dancy also opened CJFT in Fort Erie.

From 1984 to 1992, Buffalo Sabres play-by-play co-announcer Rick Jeanneret hosted a popular morning show on the station. He was forced to end the show after the retirement of Ted Darling, which made Jeanneret the full-time announcer for the team.

Dancy died in 2001, and ownership of the stations was assumed by Niagara Broadcasting. Later that year, CJRN — formerly an oldies station — adopted its current programming in a format swap with sister station CFLZ.

Other programming

In addition to its regular schedule of tourist information programming, CJRN acts as the radio broadcast home for a number of sports events of Canisius College, including both men's and women's basketball games and one hockey game.
