CKNR is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts an adult contemporary format at FM 94.1 in Elliot Lake, Ontario. The station uses the on-air brand Moose FM.

History

The station first aired in 1967 at AM 1340, and was owned by Algonquin Broadcasting. CKNR had two sister stations, AM 930 CKNS in Espanola (established in 1976) and AM 730 CJNR in Blind River (actually the oldest of the three, first established in 1958.) Huron Broadcasting acquired the stations in 1976.

In 1986, CJNR and CKNS were given approval to amend the broadcasting licences for CJNR Blind River and CKNS Espanola, by deleting the condition of licence which requires each of these stations to operate as an affiliate of the CBC English-language AM Radio Network service.

All three stations became part of Mid-Canada Radio in 1986, and were subsequently sold to the Pelmorex Radio Network in 1990. [ [http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisions/1985/DB85-146.HTM Decision CRTC 85-146] ] [ [http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisions/1990/DB90-676.HTM Decision CRTC 90-676] ]

On November 15, 1990, CKNR was given permission to disaffiliate from the CBC as the Elliot Lake area was now served by the Corporation’s CBEC-FM Elliot Lake. [ [http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisions/1990/DB90-1111.htm Decision CRTC 90-1111] ]

North Channel Broadcasting acquired the stations from Pelmorex in 1996, and converted CKNR to FM 94.1 MHz on March 3, 1997 with a transmitter on Manitoulin Island. [ [http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisions/1996/DB96-396.HTM CRTC decision 1996-396] ] Due to the station's signal strength (it can be heard as far as Sudbury and into Michigan's eastern Upper Peninsula), the CJNR and CKNS signals were both discontinued.

North Channel subsequently sold CKNR to Haliburton Broadcasting Group in 2004, a sale which reunited CKNR with many of its former sister stations in the Pelmorex Radio Network. [ [http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisions/2004/db2004-114.htm Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2004-114] ]

Transmitters

Although officially licensed to Elliot Lake, the primary transmitter is located closer to Little Current (approximately 80 km to the southeast of the city), and parts of the city of Elliot Lake itself consequently do not receive an adequate signal on the 94.1 frequency. On July 9, 2007 CKNR applied to re-broadcast their FM signal at 98.7 MHz to serve the population of Elliot Lake and was given approval by the CRTC on August 24, 2007.
