CHEV (AM)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

CHEV was a Canadian radio station, which broadcast at 1610 AM in Toronto, Ontario. A low-power AM station licensed primarily to broadcast special events, the station was best known for airing junior hockey games.

As an unprotected low-power station, CHEV was forced to vacate the 1610 frequency in 2004 when the San Lorenzo Latin American Community Centre was awarded the frequency for CHSL, a new Spanish community radio station, although the CRTC renewed CHEV's license conditional on the station finding a new frequency.

On its website, the station now promotes itself as an active community radio station in Markham. Although it is not currently broadcasting on a conventional radio band, the station continues to provide an Internet radio stream.

The station is now running on-line with local hockey games on Friday nights and broadcasting live bands on Saturdays.
