The company, which also operates under the names Radio Power and Cartier Communications, is co-based in Parishville, New York and San Francisco, California;[1][2] with auxiliary offices in Reno, Nevada;[3] Burlington, Vermont; and Pointe-Claire, Quebec.
[4] The company was founded in 1986 by Tim Martz, a native of Kitchener, Ontario who purchased radio stations WDHP and WFST in Presque Isle, Maine, taking advantage of the market across the border in New Brunswick, Canada without being required to submit to the rules of the CRTC.
[4] Its scope eventually expanded to target larger Canadian markets, such as Brockville, Cornwall, Ottawa and Montreal, which lay within the broadcast range of its stations.
Slaight's ownership stake in Martz was not part of that company's sale of most of its broadcasting assets to Astral Media in 2007.
However, on January 31, 2012 Martz ceased operations of the HD feeds and the translators, due to financial and signal difficulties.
