CJRN is a radio station in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, which airs tourist information programming at AM 710. The "RN" in the call is for Radio Niagara.

The station was launched in 1947 by local businessman B. H. Bedford, operating on AM 1600 with the callsign CHVC. The station's studios were originally located under the Rainbow Bridge.

The station was acquired by Radio Niagara in 1964, and adopted the CJRN calls that year. Radio Niagara moved the station's studios to Clifton Hill in 1965. In 1970, the station moved to its current frequency, and in 1978, Radio Niagara was acquired by local businessman Keith Dancy. In 1986, Dancy also opened CJFT in Fort Erie.

From 1984 to 1992, Buffalo Sabres play-by-play co-announcer Rick Jeanneret hosted a popular morning show on the station. He ended the show after the retirement of Ted Darling made Jeanneret the full-time announcer for the team.

Dancy died in 2001, and ownership of the stations was assumed by Niagara Broadcasting. Later that year CJRN, formerly an oldies station, adopted its current programming in a format swap with sister station CFLZ-FM.

Other programming

In addition to its regular schedule of tourist information programming, CJRN acts as the radio broadcast home for the sports teams of Buffalo, New York's Canisius College, including men's and women's basketball and hockey.^[1]
