History.
The station launched on April 1, 2006, originally on 93.7 FM with a power of 5 watts. Previously licensed as a developmental community radio station, Amherst Island Radio changed frequency to 92.1 FM in October 2007 following the licensing of a new radio station on the adjacent 93.5 frequency in Kingston, and was granted a permanent license on December 6, 2007. It now operates as a 250-watt class B community broadcast undertaking and the current license expires on 31 August 2021.
On August 4, 2020, Amherst Island Broadcasting submitted an application to change CJAI-FM's frequency from 92.1 MHz to 101.3 MHz with a power increase from 250 watts to 4,800 watts. Antenna height will be raised from 18 to 43.4 metres (EHAAT) with the radiation 
pattern remaining directional. The transmitter will also be located. On April 8, 2021, Amherst Island Radio Broadcasting Inc. received CRTC approval to change CJAI-FM's frequency from 92.1 MHz to 101.3 MHz, increasing the maximum effective radiated power (ERP) from 250 to 4,800 watts, increasing the average ERP from 166 to 3,050 watts, increasing the effective height of the antenna above average terrain from 18 to 43.4 metres. 
Operations.
The station is 100% volunteer-run and 100% non-profit, and is the only Canadian broadcast station located in a barn. Operating from the barn's 14 ft x 19 ft milkhouse, it houses two studios (each 6 ft x 7 ft) and its antenna is high atop the barn's 85 ft silo. Altogether, it is one of the smallest legally licensed broadcast stations in the world.
