CHUM-owned Affiliates CFAC in Calgary and CFRN in Edmonton were also affiliates of the Team, although the stations were not CHUM-owned — CFAC was owned by Rogers and CFRN by Standard Broadcasting. After the Team network folded, both stations retained the sports format, although CFAC adopted the name The Fan 960, as Rogers had by this time acquired Toronto's Fan 590. CFRN, now also owned by Bell Media Radio, continued to use the Team branding until joining TSN Radio in 2013. Later Vancouver's CFTE, a sister station to CKST, also converted to the Team branding in 2009, airing a similar but distinct schedule of sports programming from its sister. Meanwhile, CHUM's Winnipeg AM station CFRW returned to an all-sports format on September 27, 2010, at the time, the station was known as "Sports Radio 1290" (without any Team branding). The station was subsequently relaunched as TSN Radio 1290 on October 5, 2011. Following the 2007 acquisition of CHUM by CTVglobemedia, majority owner of TSN, there had been occasional reports about CTV potentially using the remaining Team stations and/or the 1050 frequency in Toronto to launch a new sports radio station in Toronto or full radio network using TSN content and personalities. Plans on launching a new TSN Radio brand began in January 2011 and Toronto's radio station CHUM (1050 AM) became the first station under the new TSN Radio network as TSN Radio 1050 on April 13, 2011. CTVglobemedia was purchased by Bell Canada Enterprises in early 2011 and became Bell Media; the company completed its purchase of Astral Media, owner of The Team's former Edmonton affiliate CFRN, in July 2013.
