CHML ceased regular programming operations this afternoon with the company posting the following statement on the station’s social media platforms, “We want to extend our profound gratitude to all of our listeners, valued advertisers and community partners – thank you for your steadfast support throughout the years. Your loyalty and this community have been the foundation of our station’s legacy, and we deeply value the connection we’ve shared with you. After decades of service to our remarkable community, we are announcing the closure of the 900 CHL radio station. This decision, though incredibly difficult, has been made after careful consideration and is necessary following years of financial losses. The shift of advertising revenues to unregulated foreign platforms, combined with the difficult regulatory and competitive landscape, has forced us to make the difficult decision to close. We will always cherish the rich history and the countless moments that defined CHML. Thank you for being an integral part of our journey.”
CHML has operated since 1927. Corus continues to operate Hot AC “Energy 95.3 (https://energy953radio.ca)” CING-FM and Classic Rock “Y108 (https://y108.ca)” CJXY-FM in the Hamilton market.
