Joco Communications - History

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.

    —Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    “Like their personal lives, women’s history is fragmented, interrupted; a shadow history of human beings whose existence has been shaped by the efforts and the demands of others.”

    “In history as in human life, regret does not bring back a lost moment and a thousand years will not recover something lost in a single hour.”
