In 1970, the station moved to its final 710 kHz AM frequency, and in 1978, Radio Niagara was acquired by local businessman Keith Dancy.
From 1984 to 1992, Buffalo Sabres play-by-play co-announcer Rick Jeanneret hosted a popular morning show on the station.
He ended the show after the retirement of Ted Darling made Jeanneret the full-time announcer for the team.
[1] On August 21, 2009, the CRTC approved an application by Radio 710 AM Inc. for authority to acquire from CJRN 710 Inc.[2] Because of the format flip, CJRN inherited the onerous restrictions that CFLZ had been required to honor, which severely limited the content that CJRN was allowed to broadcast (the restrictions went so far as to disallow broadcasting of out-of-town sports scores, one of the "violations" of the terms of license cited when the station's license was eventually revoked).
[3] In addition to its regular schedule of tourist information programming, CJRN acted as the radio broadcast home for the sports teams of Buffalo, New York's Canisius College, including men's and women's basketball and hockey.
