History

On February 6, 1976, Algonquin Radio-TV Co. Ltd. was given approval to operate a new AM station at Espanola. [1] It would broadcast on 930 kHz with a power of 10,000 watts. CKNS began broadcasting at 930 kHz on October 2, 1976. The station was a semi-satellite of CKNR in Elliot Lake which began broadcasting in 1967. The "NS" 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.[2]

In 1986 CKNS received approval to disaffiliate from the CBC radio network, which is now served by CBCE-FM out of Little Current.[3] In 1990, the Pelmorex Radio Network received approval to acquire CKNS from Mid-Canada Communications.[4] In 1996, CKNS and its sister stations CKNR and CJNR were sold to North Channel Broadcasters,[5] which established the contemporary CKNR-FM and shut down all three AM signals.
