CKJR (1440 AM, "Sports 1440") is a radio station licensed to Wetaskiwin, Alberta. Owned by Stingray Radio, it broadcasts a sports talk format primarily serving the Edmonton Metropolitan Region. CKJR's studios are located alongside its metropolitan sister stations at the West Edmonton Mall.
CKJR broadcasts with a non-directional pattern during the daytime hours and a directional signal (using a three-tower array) during nighttime hours. CKJR is the only station in Canada broadcasting at 1440 AM.
History
The station started in 1971 as CJOI on 1440 kHz, with 1,000 watts power.
In 1974, CJOI started using 10,000 watts power
CJOI became CKJR in 1994. The former callsign now belongs to CJOI-FM in Rimouski, Quebec.
In 2002, Standard Broadcasting purchased stations and sold parts to Newcap Broadcasting and Rogers Communications.
In late September 2006, CKJR flipped from country to oldies as W1440.
In August 2023, Stingray announced that CKJR would flip to a sports talk format primarily serv on September 5, 2023, as Sports 1440. The format is in collaboration with Just a Game Productions (owned by former CFRN afternoon host Jason Gregor) and The Nation Network, marking the return of sports radio to the market for the first time since CFRN discontinued its sports format and shut down permanently in June.[1][2]
