Original Staff: Program Director - Jonathan Brett, Music Director - Shelly Wright, News Director - Jim Johnson, Music Announcer - Jennifer Fahrni. Mountain Broadcasting was sold to Selkirk Communications in January 1989. Selkirk, in turn, was sold to Maclean-Hunter in September 1989, and CISQ was resold to Rogers Communications as part of the purchase. The station was relaunched with its current format on August 29, 2003.
