CHEV is a Canadian radio station, which formerly 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 CHHA, a new Spanish community radio station, although the CRTC renewed CHEV's license conditional on the station finding a new frequency.
On its website (www.chevradioam.com), 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.
As of November 19, 2007 CHEV announced via its blog that it will not be broadcasting for an undetermined period. This was due to renovations being done in the studio. On November 28, 2007, CHEV launched a new website. On December 12, 2007, CHEV returned to the internet airwaves. The station now broadcasts at various times during the week.
