Formerly a mixture of multilingual and Christian programming, CJMR moved to exclusively multilingual programming in 2001 when the religious programming moved to the new CJYE.
In 1986, the station was denied a licence to move to the FM dial.CJMR and CHMB are the only stations in Canada which broadcast on 1320 AM.
