The company was founded in 1948 when brothers Jean-Joffre and David Armand Gourd, along with business partner Roger Charbonneau, acquired radio stations CKRN Rouyn (now CHOA-FM), CHAD Amos (defunct) and CKVD Val-d'Or (now CHGO-FM) from Canadian media mogul Roy Thomson.
The primary brands associated with the company are Radio X, BPM Sports, and WOW-FM.[1] BPM Sports outlets in Gatineau and Quebec City carry music programming during evening hours, due to CRTC-imposed programming restrictions.
