Page "CKAC" Paragraph 25

In 2001, Astral Media ( successor of Radiomutuel ) got permission from the CRTC ( Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ) to buy Telemedia's Quebec radio properties, which included the RockDétente network as well as 50 % of the Radiomédia network.

However the Competition Bureau, another federal agency, partially blocked the deal over concentration of ownership issues, and ordered Astral Media to sell Radiomédia stations, which were temporarily put into trusteeship.
