Sad but not surprising. However, since it sounds like it was the Regina archives she checked with, I have a couple of alternative suggestions: the Regina Public Library Prairie History Room has a handful of materials, including a CKCK promotional booklet from the mid-1950s. And the Saskatchewan Provincial Archives would have some material as well. I believe, in fact, they have a minute or so of silent film of CKCK's launch in 1922, shot by Dick Bird. Also, CK Television deposited all its old news film at the Provincial Archives, so who knows what's mixed in with that. She might also try CTV and the Leader-Post.
If it's personnel files and such that's she's after, Harvard managed the station during its final years, from 1998 to 2001, so there's a slight chance that such items went from the old Park Street studios to the Harvard building on Halifax Street. But Harvard has moved since then, slimming the odds even further. Rawlco owns the CKCK call letters, but I'm pretty sure they have nothing connected to the old station.
