The station was acquired by Telemedia in 1998, and Telemedia was in turn bought out by Standard Broadcasting in 2002.
In 1976, the station was reacquired by local owners, who in turn sold it to Telemedia in 1980.
The studios moved in 1990 to a new facility on Cranston Crescent off Highway 12 in Midland, in a facility that also housed Telemedia's community newspapers.
The company then entered into a local management agreement with Telemedia, taking over management of that company's CHAS-FM and making CHAS and CJQM sister stations, an arrangement that continues to this day.
In 1999, Telemedia purchased Okanagan Skeena Group and its broadcasting assets (including CKOR); shortly after, CKOR adopted Telemedia's EZ Rock brand.
The company ended with the sale of the station by Hewitt in 1980 to Telmed Communications Limited and the station was later renamed CJCL-AM 1430 in 1981 and all sports radio (FAN-1430) in 1992.
Purchased from its original investors by Telemedia, a Canadian publishing company, it ceased publication in September 1990 during the recession which hit the region.
After Rogers Communications acquired Maclean-Hunter in 1994, CKYC was sold to Telemedia.
On June 7, 2000, Telemedia Radio Atlantic Ltd. received CRTC approval to add a transmitter for CIKX-FM Grand Falls at Plaster Rock using the facilities of the CJCJ Woodstock rebroadcasting transmitter, CJCJ-2 Plaster Rock.
Both stations were shut down in 1992 as part of one of Canada's first local management agreements, entered into by Pelmorex Radio Network, the managing partner in this case, and Telemedia.
