CJRI-FM is a Canadian internet radio station based in Fredericton, New Brunswick, previously licensed to broadcast over-the-air on 104.5 MHz. The station broadcasts a Christian format and is owned by long-time local broadcaster Ross Ingram, who also hosts the morning show. The station airs 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 was continuing to broadcast live programming.[2]
