Newcap history

In June 1989, Newcap added properties in Alberta and British Columbia to its acquisitions, with the purchase of two Alberta radio stations, CKRA-FM, Edmonton and CFCW-AM Camrose, and Kamloops B.C.'s CHRK-FM, from Harold J. Yerxa's CFCW Ltd.

Fundy had in 1990 acquired control of Celtic.

At Newcap's request, the CRTC revoked the licence granted to them in 1992 for a Network licence for carriage of Edmonton Oilers' games.

In May, Newcap announced that it had acquired 100% ownership of the 15 Alberta stations it had bought from Standard Radio in 2002, by picking up the remaining 24% that Standard had originally retained.

The TV stations were a twin-stick operation, with CITL affiliated with CTV and CKSA with the CBC. In November, Newcap was licensed to open a new radio station, CFRK-FM, in Fredericton, N.B. The station went on the air in July 2005.

One of the CRTC's first decisions of 2006 was the awarding of a new licence to Newcap for a new FM station, CJEG-FM, in Lac La Biche, Alberta.

The Commission also renewed the broadcasting licence for CIGV-FM and the above-mentioned transmitters for five years from the original expiry date of 31 August 2011.

On August 26th 2013, Newcap and Bell Media announced that they had entered into an agreement whereby Newcap would acquire from Bell Media Inc. the licences of five radio stations of which BCE had been required to divest itself as part of the CRTC approval for BCE to acquire Astral.

On May 26th, Newfoundland Capital Corporation Limited announced that David J. Murray, Chief Operating Officer, would be retiring effective June 30, 2015.

On November 30, the CRTC renewed CHLW's licence until August 31, 2017.

In Brown County, the coronavirus pandemic exacerbated housing issues and pushed the number of people experiencing homelessness and receiving services to a peak of 1,261 in December 2020 before dropping slightly to 1,177 in March, according to Institute for Community Alliances data.
