CJRI-FM was a Canadian internet radio station based in Fredericton, New Brunswick, previously licensed to broadcast over-the-air on 104.5 MHz. The station broadcast a Christian format and was owned by long-time local broadcaster, Ross "Lunatic" Ingram, who also hosted the morning show. The station aired a mix of music, including Southern gospel and Praise music, as well as talk and teaching programs from religious leaders such as David Jeremiah and Dr. Charles Stanley. CJRI-FM was also licensed to operate several rebroadcasters around New Brunswick.
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[update], the CJRI website made no mention of a shutdown and its online stream has since ceased continuing to broadcast live programming.[2]
History
The station had 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]
