As the city filed it
CHIN Radio has long been a cornerstone of multicultural broadcasting in the Greater Toronto Area. For decades, and as it approaches its 60th anniversary in 2026, it has provided essential programming in over 17 languages, serving communities that are often underrepresented in mainstream media. The recent loss of CHIN Radio's long-standing transmitter site on the Toronto Islands and subsequent relocation to a site in Halton Hills has severely affected their signal quality and reach.

Approving CHIN Radio's application to move to the AM900 frequency will help restore this vital service and ensure that CHIN can continue delivering high-quality, inclusive programming to the many diverse audiences in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton area who depend on it. Toronto City Council wishes to communicate this urgent priority to the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission and urge them to approve this application and help sustain Canada's rich tradition of multicultural broadcasting.
