Pattison v CHUM of Toronto
VICTORIA/CKNW(AM980)--Vancouver business mogul Jim Pattison has filed a writ
in BC Supreme Court seeking to block the sale of radio stations C-FAX and
B-107.3 FM, to the CHUM Group of Toronto.
Pattison claims to have a written "First Right of Refusal" for the purchase
of Seacoast Communications assets, which he says was granted in 1997 and
would have a life span of fifteen years.
C-FAX President Mel Cooper denies violating any contract and says he will
defend the lawsuit.
