...and also Country89. Interesting that the release says they'll be on both. I wonder if the broadcasts are split between the stations or if they'll all be on both.

Bell is not some little guy & radio is a business.
Either big bucks were spent for rights elsewhere or Bell no longer saw benefit in coverage. 

I'm guessing Bell saw more profit discontinuing as much investment in CKTB as possible. 
Where hockey once aired, I highly suspect that CKTB will now simply be a CFRB repeater. 
Costs nothing to run, still makes money.

Actually, it usually works the other way around with these small leagues. The team buys the airtime and sells their own sponsorships and advertisements. There's no way a team that small would make a station enough money to warrant "buying rights" for the games. AHL probably yes, smaller leagues and OHL probably not.
