Ted Rogers, the communications mogul and son of CFRB's founder, had vowed to re-acquire the station that his family had lost after his father's death, and considered his failure to do so his greatest disappointment. Reports indicate that he continued to attempt to re-acquire CFRB right up until his death in December 2008.<ref>Pitts, Gordon [http://business.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20081202.wrogersobit1202/BNStory/Business/home Ted Rogers dies at 75] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090514034015/http://business.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20081202.wrogersobit1202/BNStory/Business/home |date=May 14, 2009 }}, ''[[The Globe and Mail]]'', December 2, 2008</ref>

In July 2013, with a buyout of Astral Media, CFRB was acquired by [[Bell Media]], a subsidiary of [[Bell Canada]] which already owns the [[CTV Television Network]] and rival competitor to [[Rogers Communications]] founded by Ted Rogers.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/crtc-approves-bell-astral-merger-1.1367433 |title=CRTC approves Bell-Astral merger|publisher=[[CBC News]]|access-date=July 30, 2013}}</ref> Shortly after the purchase, Bell announced that it would move the studios and offices of CFRB and sister station [[CKFM-FM]] from their long-time location at [[St. Clair Avenue]] and [[Yonge Street]], to [[250 Richmond Street West]] at Richmond and Duncan (which already houses the operations of sister radio stations, [[CHUM (AM)|CHUM]] and [[CHUM-FM]]).  The building is adjacent to [[299 Queen Street West]] located at [[Queen Street (Toronto)|Queen Street]] and [[John Street (Toronto)|John Street]] (which already houses the operations of several Bell Media specialty television channels including [[CP24]] and [[Much (TV channel)|MuchMusic]]).<ref>{{cite news|title=CFRB to leave landmark St. Clair offices for Queen West|url=https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/2013/07/30/cfrb_to_leave_landmark_st_clair_offices_for_queen_west.html|access-date=July 30, 2013|newspaper=Toronto Star|date=July 30, 2013}}</ref> The move took place on May 10, 2014.<ref>[http://www.newstalk1010.com/news/2014/05/09/listen-its-our-last-day-at-yonge-st-clair LISTEN: It's our last day at Yonge & St. Clair!] newstalk1010.com, published May 9, 2014</ref>
