CKNR-FM is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts an adult contemporary format at FM 94.1 MHz in Elliot Lake, Ontario. The station uses the on-air brand Moose FM.
The station first aired in 1967 at AM 1340, and was owned by Algonquin Broadcasting. CKNR had two sister stations, AM 930 CKNS in Espanola (established in 1976) and AM 730 CJNR in Blind River (actually the oldest of the three, first established in 1958.) Huron Broadcasting acquired the stations in 1976.
In 1986, CJNR and CKNS were given approval to amend their broadcasting licences, by deleting the condition of licence which required these stations to operate as affiliates of the CBC's English-language AM radio network.
All three stations became part of Mid-Canada Radio in 1986, and were subsequently sold to the Pelmorex Radio Network in 1990.
On November 15, 1990, CKNR was given permission to disaffiliate from the CBC as the Elliot Lake area was now served by the Corporation’s CBEC-FM.
North Channel Broadcasting acquired the stations from Pelmorex in 1996, and converted CKNR to FM 94.1 MHz on March 3, 1997 with a transmitter on Manitoulin Island. Due to the station's signal strength (it can be heard as far as Sudbury and into Michigan's eastern Upper Peninsula), the CJNR and CKNS signals were both discontinued.
North Channel subsequently sold CKNR to Haliburton Broadcasting Group in 2004, a sale which reunited CKNR with many of its former sister stations in the Pelmorex Radio Network.
