==Close Call==
On February 5, 2009, Canwest announced it would explore "strategic options", including possible sale, for CHAD and its other E! stations, saying "a second conventional TV network is no longer key to the long-term success" of the company. On July 22, 2009, Canwest announced it would be closing CHAD as of August 31, 2009 at 6:00 A.M. MT, issuing layoff notices to staff. They raised 1000k, So they can run CHAD-TV themselves as an Independent Station (Much like CHEK in Victoria And KVOS in Bellingham, WA) But it was rejected since 1000k isn't enough to keep the station alive (And the idea to run it themselves was eventually scrapped). On August 31, 2009 the station was slated to close by midnight. They raised 10000k, however it could only keep the station up for a WEEK. It barely aired any E! programming after September 1. Finally, on September 3, The Jim Pattison Group purchased the almost vanishing CHAD-TV, when live @ 5:00(CHAD's version of Live@5:30 By CHCH Hamilton) announced that the station was finally purchased by the Jim Pattison Group. And now South Alberta's Long supported TV station would stay on the air for a long time (to the point that it celebrated it's 60th anniversary with a documentary in 2015).
