This application was refused by the CRTC, and the frequency was obtained by Corus Entertainment to serve Trois-Rivières in order to move CHLN-FM from AM to FM. This small community radio station was sued by local radio personality Robert Gillet who claimed three million dollars for defamation, after André Arthur spoke extensively about the Scorpion case, a scandal which has embroiled Gillet, having been found guilty in a court trial of having sex with a minor for a fee. In February 2006, CIMI was targeted by another lawsuit on behalf of a lawyer from Quebec following allegations by entertainer Roby Moreault. CIMI-FM ceased programs July 23rd 2008, citing financial and legal troubles. The CRTC cancelled CIMI-FM's license on 5 September 2012, after a lack of communication between the CRTC and the contact person for the station since its 2008 closure. The audience of CIMI-FM 103.7 was generally different depending on the time of day. Programs like "L'Alternative", "Rebelles" and "Moreault dans le Retour" was targeted to a very large audience (males 25-54). Mornings, CIMI was aimed to an older audience with programs like "Hier Encore" (men and women 55+). As the day progresses the audience becomes younger in the evening (males 18-25) as it plays hard rock music. In 2003, the Canadian polling company SOM found that more than 100,000 people in the Quebec City Area listened to CIMI-FM, and that over 190,000 people knew of or have heard of the station.
