Eventually, the station was allowed to amend its licence, stick with the rock format, and changed its call letters to CJKR-FM in 1991.
At the time, general manager Garth Buchko said the stations had outgrown their 930 Portage Avenue facility.
With the move, Corus Radio Winnipeg would also upgrade to state-of-the-art, fully digital on-air systems.
At Noon on January 29, 2015, after playing "Fade to Black" by Metallica, CJKR began stunting with liners promoting that Winnipeg would be getting "bigger" the following day at 8 a.m., interspersed between 5-second clips of songs with the word "big" in them.
"Shadoe & Joe" can now be heard together with traffic reports from Randy Parker and news with Kathy Kennedy.
The first song played on the newly relaunched "Power 97" was Give It Away by Red Hot Chili Peppers.
