Alas, the efforts by Newcap to make radio listeners forget the abandonment of country-themed Hank-FM and embrace K-Rock as a classic rock option are at an end, as the Newfoundland Capital Corporation Limited has sold both K-Rock 100.7 and the multi-cultural formatted CKJS (810 AM) to Dufferin Communications Inc., a subsidiary of the Evanov Radio Group.

This summer Evanov is going to launch the almost-forgotten CFJL 106.1 licence awarded by the CRTC a couple of years ago, and hopes for CRTC approval of the take-over of the other 2 stations to be approved by years' end. This marks their first foray into the West, bringing the chain to a total of 15 frequencies.
