One of the most multicutural city in the world
Unfortunately over the years the different Governments have not provided enough media outlets i.e. (Radio & Television) to serve this multicultural City.
The National Broadcasters (CBC) Radio & TV almost totally ignores the multicultural communities and provide little to no programming to serve them, however we all still pay taxes.
Almost all areas of influence in Toronto are controlled by Europeans descendants Government, Finances and all major Media. Toronto (Canada) still has a long way to go to serve all communities equally.
CKLN-FM was a community radio station
(The Voice of the Underground)
From 1983 to 2011.
Affiliated with Ryerson University, and broadcasting at 88.1 MHz.
On January 28, 2011 the CRTC revoked the licence of CKLN-FM due to continual breaches of the Broadcast Act and violations to their conditions of licence, ordering them to cease broadcasting by February 12, 2011.
Calling the decision “premature, disproportionate and inequitable”, CRTC Commissioner Louise Poirier issued a dissenting opinion stating that she was “firmly opposed” to the decision and that licence revocation “should not have been used as a first step for this station” according to Poirier, “the Commission has never revoked a licence without first issuing a mandatory order or reducing the licence term.” The decision was also opposed by the National Campus and Community Radio Association, which stated in a press release that the commission “could have taken other reasonable steps to ensure regulatory compliance while allowing CKLN to continue serving the community”
