Marie, Michigan again in 1979, playing for about a month at Taffy Abel Arena on the campus of Lake Superior State University due to emergency roof repairs at the Gardens.

The Gardens hosted Memorial Cup games in 1978 and 1993, and the OHL All-Star Game in 1979. The last game at the Gardens was played on Tuesday, March 28, 2006. Demolition of the Gardens began on April
Huron Broadcasting (Gilder changed those stations' call signs to CFYN and CHAS.) Huron subsequently also opened CKCY-TV in 1977. Huron sold its radio stations to other owners in the mid-1980s. Telemedia acquired Sault Ste. Marie's CJIC and CJIC-FM, by this time known as CFYN and CHAS-FM, in 1985, while the remaining stations were sold to Mid-Canada Radio in two separate transactions, in 1986 (the stations in Blind River, Elliot Lake and Espanola) and 1988 (the remaining stations in Sault Ste. Marie and Wawa). The television stations were acquired by Baton Broadcasting in 1990, and were converted by Baton to the MCTV branding
