On January 28, 2011, the CRTC revoked the broadcast license of CKLN 88.1 FM, Ryerson Campus Community Radio, which has been mandated to cease broadcasting on February 12, 2011 (see Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2011-56).
The revocation of the license was characterized as "unwarranted and inequitable" by Louise Poirier, a sitting CRTC Commissioner herself, and author of the dissenting opinion on the ruling. The CRTC had other measures available to it but elected for this extreme measure.
Tune in to CKDU's Operation Wake Up on Thursday, February 10th between 8 am and 9 am, for a special re-broadcast of CKUT's 'Solidarity Hour of Protest'. Canadians are calling on the CRTC to change their decision, and calling on their members of Parliament to intervene. CKLN is Canada's oldest campus community radio station!
If you support CKLN, you can tune in to CKDU on Thursday morning, or write your MP.
