History
Joco Communications was incorporated in 2003 when Cormier was granted a license to open CFSF-FM in Sturgeon Falls. The company was granted a second license in 2007 to operate a station in Espanola.
The company also applied for a new FM radio station in Sudbury in 2007, although this application was denied.
On November 13, 2008 the company applied to operate a new radio station in Gravenhurst. This application was denied on June 1, 2009.
On May 20, 2010, the CRTC received an application by the Haliburton Broadcasting Group to acquire Joco's CJJM-FM in Espanola and received approval on August 12, 2010. In September 2010, Joco Communications announced a tentative deal to sell CFSF-FM in Sturgeon Falls to the Haliburton Broadcasting Group, which received CRTC approval on February 21, 2011.
After selling the two stations, Cormier ran as the Liberal candidate for Nickel Belt in the 2011 election, but lost to incumbent Claude Gravelle.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“No one can understand Paris and its history who does not understand that its fierceness is the balance and justification of its frivolity. It is called a city of pleasure; but it may also very specially be called a city of pain. The crown of roses is also a crown of thorns. Its people are too prone to hurt others, but quite ready also to hurt themselves. They are martyrs for religion, they are martyrs for irreligion; they are even martyrs for immorality.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“Modern Western thought will pass into history and be incorporated in it, will have its influence and its place, just as our body will pass into the composition of grass, of sheep, of cutlets, and of men. We do not like that kind of immortality, but what is to be done about it?”
—Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
“To summarize the contentions of this paper then. Firstly, the phrase ‘the meaning of a word’ is a spurious phrase. Secondly and consequently, a re-examination is needed of phrases like the two which I discuss, ‘being a part of the meaning of’ and ‘having the same meaning.’ On these matters, dogmatists require prodding: although history indeed suggests that it may sometimes be better to let sleeping dogmatists lie.”
—J.L. (John Langshaw)
