The service is currently owned and operated by Astral Media. It was one of two properties, along with an interest in Sirius Canada, to remain under the Slaight Communications' ownership, following the October 2007 sale of its radio and television stations to Astral Media.[1] It has since moved to the Astral Media family.
Originally, Slaight also programmed an adult album alternative channel on Sirius Satellite Radio channel 85, branded as Iceberg 85. The channel originally aired on Sirius 95, but moved to 85 in early June 2008.
The Iceberg Radio site now redirects to an American service, AccuRadio.
