On July 12, 2006, CTVglobemedia announced they would make a friendly takeover bid to buy CHUM Limited. CTV's initial plans were to keep all CHUM's specialty channels, although through its application to the CRTC, CLT along with other channels were listed as services that will be put up for sale.
On April 9, 2007, it was announced that Rogers Communications has filed with the CRTC to purchase CLT along with SexTV: The Channel and several CHUM owned over-the-air television stations. The deal is contingent on approval by the CRTC of the CTVglobemedia takeover of CHUM. [1]
