In 1944, Kenneth C. Irving purchased Saint John Publishing from its principal shareholder Howard P. Robinson. Along with the city's two newspapers he acquired the CHSJ station as part of the group. Later that year the company's name was changed to the New Brunswick Publishing Company. One of its operations was New Brunswick Broadcasting, responsible for radio station CHSJ. In 1947, CHSJ-FM signed on the air at 100.5 MHz, which became a co-owned station of the CHSJ AM that signed on in 1927 as CFBO. The station (CHSJ-FM 100.5) left the air in 1954.
The station is owned by Acadia Broadcasting which also owns sister station CHSJ-FM.
CHSJ changed its AM frequency several times: to 1210 kHz in 1933, to 1120 kHz in 1934, to 1150 kHz in 1945, and to 700 kHz in 1988. The station was originally approved to move from 1150 kHz to 700 kHz in 1985. On December 3, 1986, the CRTC denied an application by New Brunswick Broadcasting to convert CHSJ from the AM band to the FM band at 94.1 MHz with 100, 000 watts. In 1998 CHSJ received approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to convert CHSJ from the AM dial to the FM dial at its current frequency 94.1 MHz.
In 1954, CHSJ-TV, the first television station in Atlantic Canada licensed by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), began broadcasting to the Saint John area. It was owned by New Brunswick Broadcasting and for many years its operations shared management, technical staff and some on-air people with CHSJ radio. For 40 years CHSJ-TV provided local news and programming in English to the province, and as an affiliate of CBC Television, it linked provincial viewers to national and international programs. CHSJ-TV was sold in 1994 to the CBC and recalled as CBAT.
CHSJ-FM is a Canadian radio station broadcasting at 94.1 FM in Saint John, New Brunswick. The station plays a country music format under the Country 94 branding. CHSJ-FM is owned by Acadia Broadcasting, which also owns sister station CHWV-FM.
In 1944, Kenneth C. Irving purchased Saint John Publishing Company Limited from its principal shareholder, Howard P. Robinson. With this purchase, Irving acquired both the CHSJ radio station and the two local newspapers. Later that year, the company name was changed to New Brunswick Publishing Company Limited and its subsidiary New Brunswick Broadcasting was responsible for CHSJ radio.
The station first went on the air on March 22, 1954 as CHSJ-TV, owned by the Irving family's New Brunswick Broadcasting Company along with CHSJ radio (AM 1150, now at FM 94.1) and located in Saint John. The Irvings also owned Saint John's main newspaper, "The Telegraph-Journal." Its network of rebroadcasters was built up between 1961 and 1978.
The station was launched on September 5, 1988 as CIHF-TV-2, owned by the Irving family's New Brunswick Broadcasting Company, which also owned CHSJ-TV, the CBC affiliate for all of New Brunswick. The station launched with three transmitters, namely those in Saint John, Fredericton, and Moncton. When MITV launched, the station took all primetime American shows from CHSJ—reportedly a prelude to the CBC dropping all primetime American programming nationwide.
In 1934, four Saint John, New Brunswick newspaper-publishing shareholders - Howard P. Robinson, J.D. McKenna, T.F. Drummie and L.W. Bewick - purchased the station CFBO from C.A. Monro. Overnight, the station's new call letters became CHSJ, and it broadcast out of a new modern studio with new experienced management. Operated by Saint John Publishing Co. Limited, CHSJ soon became an affiliate of CBC Radio's Trans-Canada Network, an important link in the development of the national network.
On September 21, 1969, as part of a complex realignment of television affiliations in the Maritimes, Saint John's original station, CHSJ-TV (now CBAT-DT) set up a rebroadcaster in Moncton, enabling CKCW-TV to switch to CTV. CKCW then built a full-time satellite in Saint John, CKLT. However, since CHSJ-TV needed time to build rebroadcasters in the northern part of the province, CKCW's rebroadcasters in Campbellton, Upsalquitch and Newcastle aired a mixed CBC-CTV schedule until October 1976.
In 1944, industrialist K.C. Irving purchased Saint John Publishing with its two major newspaper dailies from its principal shareholder, Howard P. Robinson. This media package sale included the radio station CHSJ controlled by New Brunswick Broadcasting. Later that year Mr. Irving incorporated all three media under the name New Brunswick Publishing Company. New Brunswick Broadcasting, under New Brunswick Publishing, looked after the radio station CHSJ.
Originally, CHSJ was the CBC affiliate for southern New Brunswick while CKCW-TV in Moncton served the northern and eastern portion. However, in 1969, CKCW switched to CTV and signed on a full-time satellite in Saint John, CKLT-TV. Since CHSJ needed time to build rebroadcasters in the southern part of the province, three of CKCW's rebroadcasters continued to air some CBC programming until 1976.
Over the years, CHSJ had a tendency to pre-empt large blocks of network programming, forcing an entire province to miss several of CBC's most well-known shows. This was the subject of complaints to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), which in 1988 mandated that CHSJ clear the base 35-hour block of CBC programming when MITV came along that year with stations in Halifax and Saint John.
From 1934 to 1936 the station was an affiliate of the Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission. In 1936 CHSJ affiliated with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and later with the CBC Trans-Canada Network until 1964, when CBD went on the air.
Although CBC's Fredericton and Moncton studios (also radio stations) had produced programming for CHSJ as early as the 1970s which New Brunswick remained the final province to get a CBC owned-and-operated television station in 1994, when CBC bought CHSJ-TV from the Irvings, recalled it as CBAT-TV, and relocated its operations to Fredericton and the Transmitter, 17 years ago. (CBAT's master control has since been consolidated with those of CBC's other Atlantic Time Zone O&Os into a main facility in Halifax, Nova Scotia.) Until the end of analog broadcasting in Canada, CBAT was the only CBC-owned station with a "-TV" suffix in its callsign.
After losing $5 million each year since sign-on, MITV was sold to Canwest on August 29, 1994. This was part of a three-way deal, which saw the CBC taking control of CHSJ-TV, moving it to Fredericton, and renaming it CBAT, making it a full CBC O&O. Later in the year, MITV moved its operational and business headquarters to Halifax.
In 1995, MITV's Saint John offices were moved out of the old CHSJ building and into a new facility in Brunswick Square. Within a year of new ownership and its resulting reorganization and marketing focus, the station became profitable for the first time in its short history. In 1997, as a part of Canwest's rebranding programme, MITV became "Global Maritimes".

CBD was launched on October 15, 1964 at 1110 on the AM band. Prior to its launch, CBC Radio programming was aired on private affiliate CHSJ 1150. A simulcast on FM 91.3 began in 1981 before the AM transmitter was shut down in 1988.
She was also previously an anchor and writer for the "Windsor Evening News" on Windsor's CBET. It was the number one news show in the market at the time. She began her television career at CBC station CHSJ-TV (now CBAT-TV) in Fredericton in 1987.
