Originally, MTN was not allowed to sell advertising in Winnipeg.
MTN was well-known for its Prairie Pulse News (later retitled MTN Pulse News, and then MTN News), MTN Kids Club, and Prime Ticket Movies, the last of which would carry over to the A-Channel system. A-Channel was a Canadian Television system owned by Craig Media from 1997 to 2004 and CHUM Limited from 2004 to 2005 Its slogan was "Very independent".
In the fall of 1999, Craig Media moved the station to the refurbished former Canadian National Railway Power House at The Forks in Winnipeg and rebranded the station as A-Channel, joining CKEM in Edmonton, Alberta and CKAL in Calgary, Alberta. The Forks is a historic site and meeting place in downtown Winnipeg located at the confluence of the Red River and Assiniboine River Edmonton (ˈɛdmɨntɨn is the capital of the Canadian province of Alberta.

CTVglobemedia announced its takeover of CHUM Limited in July 2006, pending regulatory approval. CTVglobemedia (often abbreviated "CTVgm" or CGM is one of Canada 's largest private media companies. CTV intended to retain CHMI and the other four Citytv stations. However, CTV stated at the CRTC public hearing for the deal that the rationale to buy the Citytv stations was "weakest" in the case of CHMI; unlike the other Citytv markets, there has never been any sort of twinstick allowed in Winnipeg. A twinstick, in Canadian broadcasting is a term for two Television stations, broadcasting in the same market which are owned by the same company CTV subsequently informed the CRTC, on May 7, that it would be prepared to sell CHMI "if the Commission determined this was in the public interest". The CRTC rejected this proposal and ultimately made the takeover conditional on the sale of all Citytv stations to another broadcaster. [2] Days later, it was announced that Rogers Communications would buy the stations of the Citytv system.
