Tourist Information Radio CJRN 710 AM

    Unfortunately I don’t have a website to refer you to, or anything that I can copy and paste into the posting, but I did want to post about this local radio station. CJRN 710 AM is called Tourist Information Radio. Quite frankly, I don’t think there is a whole lot that tourists would be interested in. As far as I can tell, there are no shows that talk about the tourist industry, nothing that talks about new developments, and as I already mentioned, no website.

    But they do have one feature that I quite enjoy… the “Niagara Falls Moment”. They are narrated by the official historian of the City of Niagara Falls, Sherman Zavitz. The “Moments” play every 10-20 minutes, and last for a couple of minutes. Mr. Zavitz has a great voice, and tells a story well. I’ve heard stories about the first television broadcast, prohibition, Marilyn Monroe, and more.

    Wikipedia has a short article about the history of the radio station.

    If you live in the area, or are visiting, take a few minutes when you are out in the car and tune in.
