from 1988 to 2004. News director John Campbell, who joined the station in 1979, introduced listeners to the daily "Campbell Comment". His commentaries ranged from goings on at Algoma Steel to the Language Resolution and beyond and often generated talk in the community and occasionally rebuttals and headlines in the local papers. Sale to Telemedia In 1985, CFYN and CHAS-FM were sold to Telemedia Communications. But just as Telemedia was establishing itself in the Sault Ste. Marie market, unregulated all hit radio in the form of WYSS was being introduced in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. The arrival of YES-FM fragmented the Sault Ste. Marie radio audience and made it increasingly difficult for AM music based formats to maintain their audiences. CFYN struggled over the next seven years changing formats several times from adult contemporary, to a combination of news, sports and oldies, to country music. In 1992, Telemedia and the Pelmorex Radio Network, then owners of CKCY and CJQM-FM applied to the CRTC and were allowed to shut down both CFYN and CKCY. The two FM stations went on to form one of Canada's first LMAs and moved into shared office and studio space, with Pelmorex being the managing partner in the arrangement. Fifteen staff at the former Telemedia operation were laid off. CFYN went dark on August 31, 1992.
