History.
The station first aired in 1967 at 1340 AM, and was owned by Algonquin Broadcasting. CKNR had two sister stations, CKNS in Espanola (established in 1976) and CJNR in Blind River (actually the oldest of the three, first established in 1958). Huron Broadcasting acquired the stations
in the call sign: North Shore.
In the mid-1980s, Mid-Canada Communications was approved by the CRTC to acquire CKNS from Huron Broadcasting Limited.
In 1986 CKNS received approval to disaffiliate from the CBC radio network, which is now served by CBCE-FM out of Little Current. In 1990, the Pelmorex Radio Network received approval to acquire CKNS from Mid-Canada Communications. In 1996, CKNS and its sister stations CKNR and CJNR were sold to North Channel Broadcasters, which established the contemporary CKNR-FM
