Talk:Toronto
From Conservapedia
Radio station 106.5 - CKAV (Aboriginal Voices) still seems to exist. I am listening to it as I write. Is there any particular reason for its disappearance from the Toronto article. AlanE (talk) 02:10, 3 June 2016 (EDT)
- I would just add it back. It was probably removed for a petty reason. Conservative (talk) 06:59, 3 June 2016 (EDT)
- No actually, not a petty reason so much as an honest mistake. It was reported that that station, along with the entire Aboriginal Voices Radio network (whose stations are essentially rebroadcasters of CKAV), were ordered to cease broadcasting by the CRTC by July 25, 2015 after the CRTC originally revoked the licences of the AVR stations due to repeated non-compliance with conditions of licence and CRTC regulations by AVR (which has since renamed itself Voices Radio on-air), although the revocations were later suspended following an appeal by AVR.[1]. As of now, only the Toronto and Vancouver stations are still broadcasting while the stations in Calgary, Edmonton, Kitchener, Ottawa and Montreal all ceased operations and stations in Regina, Saskatoon and Abbotsford never went on the air. I thought at first that CKAV, the main station, had also signed off as well and thus taken the network with it, but it looks like that turned out not to be the case with Toronto and Vancouver anyway. In any case, I just updated the listing for CKAV to reflect the change. Northwest (talk) 08:10, 4 June 2016 (EDT)

- I just removed CKAV from the Toronto FM Radio listing again because CKAV lost its last appeal to remain on the air to the CRTC on November 10 (not November 16 as I originally noted in my edit summary).[2] As a result of the decision (which upholds the CRTC declaration of non-compliance with licence conditions by the Aboriginal Voices Radio network), both CKAV and its rebroadcasters and AVR are now defunct.
