Now under the direction of Greif and Garris the group moved towards a variety act, doing "novelty and pop tunes" and a little comedy, making them closer to the 19th century Christy's Minstrels from whom the group's name was derived. Reflecting this shift, they had a "Billboard" Top 100 hit later in 1965 with a cover of "Chim Chim Cher-ee" from the Disney film "Mary Poppins". Regular group membership changes
CHIM-FM CHIM's application to add a transmitter at 102.3 MHz in Cochrane, Ontario was denied as well in 2008. An unrelated radio station, CFCJ-FM owned by Cochrane Christian Radio to operate a new English language Christian radio station at Cochrane on 102.1 MHz received CRTC approval on April 18, 2011. The station's licence renewal application was denied by the CRTC on October 23, 2012 due to regulatory violations. As a result, CHIM-FM was ordered to cease broadcasting Christian music by the end of the broadcast day on November 30, 2012. CHIM was re licensed as Information radio by Industry Canada. CHIM
