Programming

On weekdays, CJNI has all-news blocks during morning and afternoon drive times. Middays, two talk shows are heard, hosted by Rick Howe and Mark Sutcliffe from 'Ottawa Today'.

"An Hour To Give" with Sam Laprade and "The Big Story" podcast run on the weekend mornings, while The Rick Howe Show also has encore presentations closer to noon.

In the evening and overnight, along with weekend afternoons, CJNI airs sports. The station carries play-by-play from three teams: Toronto Blue Jays,[1] Montreal Canadiens, and the Halifax Mooseheads in the QMJHL. Other times, CBS Sports Radio programming is heard.[2]

History

On November 26, 2004, Rogers Communications received approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) for a new English-language News/Talk commercial FM radio station in Halifax to operate at 95.7 MHz.[3] The station officially signed on the air on October 11, 2005, at 5:30 a.m.

The station was networked with CKNI-FM in Moncton, and CHNI-FM in Saint John, until August 2014, when those two stations were sold to separate owners and flipped to music formats.
