CRTC made a strong statement in 1986 by warning the Capital Radio Inc. of jeopardizing its license by not following the Pop terms agreed in the license. Shares (all) were transferred to Télémédia in 1995. Telemedia which had already sold its 80% of interest in the Radio X 98.1 to Genex Communications Inc., gave all its shares to Genex Communications in 1997 after a deal brokered by CRTC. ERP was decreased to 40,000 w in 1998. Disputed with CRTC regarding programming and renewal of the license became a highlight in July 2004. After protests and a legal battle of the CHOI, Federal court extended the license in Aug 2004 counter to that of CRTC’s decision. By 2006 Radio Nord Communications Inc. was operating CHOI. Radio Nord was renamed as RNC Media in 2007. Alternative Rock Music was the format in 2010. CRTC validated the license of the now Talk Radio in Aug 2012 until Aug 31, 2013.
