[edit]On November 26, 2004,Rogers Communicationsreceived approval from theCanadian 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 officiallysigned onthe air on October 11, 2005, at 5:30a.m.
The station was networked withCKNI-FMinMoncton,andCHNI-FMinSaint John,until August 2014, when those two stations were sold to separate owners and flipped to music formats.
In June 2021, Rogers announced that it would rebrand CJNI and its otherall-newsandnews/talkradio stations under theCityNewsbrand beginning October 18, 2021.[4]This was despite the fact thatCitytvdoes not operate in the region, only being available in Atlantic Canada on cable and satellite as an out-of-market distant signal.
