The company, based in Sudbury, Ontario , served most of the Northeastern Ontario region. Although CUC Broadcasting was the largest single shareholder, the company was structured to maintain corporate control within the region. F. Baxter Ricard , the largest local shareholder, was the company's chairman. The company was also a major shareholder in the region's MCTV and Mid-Canada Radio systems. In 1990 , Northern sold MCTV to Baton Broadcasting , and Mid-Canada Radio to Pelmorex . In 1991 , Northern itself was acquired by CF Cable , although it continued to operate under the Northern Cable name. In 1997 , CFCF sold its cable operations to Vidéotron . Northern Cable was subsequently sold to Regional Cablesystems, which folded the company into its own operations and branding. Regional subsequently became Persona Inc. in 2001 . Persona has, however, kept Northern Cable's head office open as its divisional office for operations in Ontario and Quebec . |
