On weekdays, CJNI-FM has all-news blocks during morning and afternoon drive times. Middays, two talk shows are heard, hosted by Rick Howe and Sheldon MacLeod. Those shows are repeated on weekends. And in the evening and overnight, along with weekend afternoons, CJNI-FM airs sports.

Other times, CBS Sports Radio programming is heard.

On November 26, 2004, Rogers Communications received approval from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) for a new English-language News/Talk commercial FM radio station in Halifax to operate at 95.7 MHz.^[1] The station officially signed on the air on October 11, 2005, at 5:30 a.m.

The station was networked with CKNI in Moncton, New Brunswick, and CHNI in Saint John, New Brunswick, until August 2014, when those two stations were sold to separate owners and flipped to music formats.
