Astral Media, CKAC's owner, had been looking for prospective buyers of its AM network since shortly after becoming its full proprietor in 2002.

In fact, back in 1970, CKAC quickly became known across the entire country, thanks to the fact that it was the station that the FLQ kidnappers called only a few hours after abducting British consul James Cross.
According to BBM figures supplied by Allard, the station already boasted the region's top-ranked morning show, with a 22.5% market share (the closest competitor only reaches 12%) - but the average age of the listeners was 56.
But CKAC's strategy was to use newspaper in a way that took advantage of the medium.

Claude St-Denis, a CKAC listener and organizer of the rally, said Corus can be persuaded to maintain the station's current format if enough listeners rally to the cause.
