In the mid-1980s, Mid-Canada Communications was approved by the CRTC to acquire CKNS from Huron Broadcasting Limited.[3]

In 1986 CKNS received approval to disaffiliate from the CBC radio network, which is now served by CBCE-FM out of Little Current.[4] In 1990, the Pelmorex Radio Network received approval to acquire CKNS from Mid-Canada Communications.[5] In 1996, CKNS and its sister stations CKNR and CJNR were sold to North Channel Broadcasters,[6] which established the contemporary CKNR-FM and shut down all three AM signals.
