CHOM will still be a Classic Rock station CJAD will always be a Talk/evening sports station and CJFM will always be a pop station. So each will focus on their already target audiences. CHOM old French rockers, CJAD the West Islanders and CJFM the wannabe MILFs from the 'burbs working in the city dressing too young for their age and walking in packs loudly.
