History

Pelmorex became controversial as one of the first radio broadcast groups in Canada to centralize its operations as a cost-saving measure. Almost all local programming on the stations was discontinued, with only local morning shows remaining. This process began slowly in 1991 with a mid-day program after a satellite uplink was installed at its (then) radio (HQ) at the CHNO studios in Sudbury. By 1994, most of the stations' programming was voice-tracked from a facility in Mississauga and the stations were reduced to storefronts with just a few staff members. Year 1991 (MCMXCI) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will display the 1991 Gregorian calendar). ... CHNO is a Canadian radio station, which broadcasts at 103. ...

Voice tracking, also called cyber jocking, is a technique employed by some radio stations. ... For the First Nation, see Mississaugas. ...

The controversy came to a head in 1995, when Environment Canada issued a severe weather warning in Sudbury during the Heat Wave of 1995 Derecho Series. The warning, issued barely ten minutes after the stations had switched to the central programming feed, was never broadcast on any of Pelmorex's three stations in the city. Pelmorex, ironically, also owned Canada's Weather Network. Year 1995 (MCMXCV) was a common year starting on Sunday (link will display full 1995 Gregorian calendar). ...

In 1998, after a change in CRTC ownership rules, Pelmorex sold CHUR in North Bay, CHVR in Pembroke, CJMX in Sudbury and CJQM in Sault Ste. Marie to Telemedia. (Telemedia had previously been limited to one station on each of the AM and FM bands in each market; with the change, it could acquire two in one band and one in the other, so it added second FMs to its existing AM/FM combos in each city.)
