CKNI-FM (2005-2014)
On November 26, 2004, Rogers Media received CRTC approval to operate a new English-language commercial FM News/Talk radio station at 91.9 FM in Moncton, New Brunswick. News 91.9's first broadcast was on October 11, 2005 with studios located on Assomption Boulevard in downtown Moncton. CKNI was networked with sister stations CHNI-FM in Saint John (which has since been sold to Newcap Radio and flipped to a rock music format in July 2014), and CJNI-FM in Halifax. Broadcasts included the national award-winning morning news/talk show The Morning News with Allan Dearing and Tara Clow from 6 to 10am weekdays. CKNI-FM also broadcast Moncton Wildcats, Ottawa Senators and Toronto Blue Jays games.
On March 31, 2014, CKNI-FM was sold to Acadia Broadcasting. On August 8, 2014, CKNI dropped its news/talk format and flipped to adult contemporary, branded as 91.9 The Bend.
