The Source[]
2004–2009[]
In 2004, InterTAN was sold to Circuit City, but they were sued by the RadioShack Corporation due to a breach of the licensing agreement they had signed. The court ruled that InterTAN no longer was allowed to use the RadioShack name, and the stores were rebranded to The Source.

BETTER LOGO NEEDED |
Circuit City ceased operations in 2009, and The Source was sold to BCE Inc., and as a result, the "By Circuit City" tagline was removed from the logo.
