In August 2023, the CRTC denied CJRI's license renewal application due to the "severity of numerous instances of non-compliance, the station’s history and the licensee’s failure to respond to the commission, including failing to appear at a May public hearing" and ordered that it cease broadcasting by August 31, 2023.[1] As of September 1, 2023, the CJRI website made no mention of a shutdown and its online stream was continuing to broadcast live programming.[2]

History

The station has been on the air since May 18, 2005, originally on 94.7 FM.[3]

Due to interference from WBCQ-FM, a radio station which launched in Monticello, Maine, in September 2008, CJRI-FM applied to the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission for a frequency change to 104.5. This application was approved on November 27, 2008.[4]

Rebroadcasters

On December 1, 2008, the CRTC approved an application by Faithway Communications Inc. to operate new FM transmitters at Woodstock, New Bandon and Saint Stephen, New Brunswick. [5]
