The Pelmorex Radio Network was a system of Canada radio stations in Northern Ontario, owned and operated by Pelmorex. Pelmorex acquired the Mid-Canada Radio Network stations in 1990. The Pelmorex stations were: {| border="1" !Community !Call Sign !Frequency |- |Blind River, Ontario |CJNR |AM radio 730, ceased broadcasting in 1994 |- |Elliot Lake, Ontario |CKNR |AM radio 1340, FM radio 94.1 after 1994 |- |Espanola, Ontario |CKNS |AM radio 930, ceased broadcasting in 1994 |- |Hearst, Ontario |CHOH |AM radio 1340, FM radio after 1996 |- |Kapuskasing, Ontario |CKAP |AM radio 580 |- |Kapuskasing, Ontario |CHYK |AM radio 1230 |- |North Bay, Ontario |CHUR |AM radio 840, FM radio 100.5 after 1997 |- |Pembroke, Ontario |CHVR |AM radio 580, FM radio 96.7 after 1996 |- |Sault Ste.

Almost all local programming on the stations was discontinued, with only local morning shows remaining. Instead, most of the stations' programming was voice-tracking from a facility in Mississauga, Ontario. The controversy came to a head in 1995, when Environment Canada issued a severe weather warning in Sudbury. The warning, issued barely ten minutes after the stations had switched to the central programming feed, was never broadcast on any of Pelmorex's three stations in the city. Pelmorex, ironically, also owned Canada's The Weather Network. Pelmorex also converted a number of its AM stations to FM. CKNR's FM conversion in 1994 replaced CKNR in Elliot Lake, CJNR in Blind River and CKNS in Espanola. Pelmorex subsequently sold that station to North Channel Broadcasting in 1996. In 1998, after a change in Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ownership rules, Pelmorex sold CHUR in North Bay, CHVR in Pembroke, CJMX in Sudbury and CJQM in Sault Ste. Marie to Telemedia. (Telemedia had previously been limited to one station on each of the AM and FM bands in each market; with the change, it could acquire two in one band and one in the other, so it added second FMs to its existing AM/FM combos in each city.) The next year, Pelmorex sold the remaining stations to Haliburton Broadcasting Group. Canadian radio networks
