CHML began operations in 1927 as a response to censorship of political discussions by Hamilton's first radio station, CKOC. The original owners were Maple Leaf Radio Company, and the "HML" in the callsign stood for "Hamilton Maple Leaf". Broadcaster Ken Soble took over CHML in 1944.[1] Shortly after Soble's death, his estate sold the station to Western Broadcasting, later known as Western International Communications. Corus took over Western's radio assets in 1999.
The station has several local daily talk show programs.
Weekdays, CHML has Non-Stop News, which airs from 5:00am to 9:00am. The Bill Kelly Show follows airing from 9:00am to noon (and also simulcasted on Cable 14 Television). And from Noon to 3:00pm is The Scott Thompson Show. Finishing out the afternoon into the evening is Non-Stop News from 3:00pm to 7:00pm.
The station also airs Adler On Line with Charles Adler, and The Roy Green Show with Roy Green on the weekends. The Matt Holmes Show airs on Thursdays and Fridays. CHML is the Hamilton Tiger-Cats' flagship radio station and an affiliate of the Toronto Maple Leafs radio networks. In 2007 the station announced a multi year partnership to broadcast McMaster University Football games.
American radio programmes aired on CHML include Dr. Joy Browne and The Jim Rome Show.
CHML airs old time radio programs from the 1940s and 1950s nightly. These shows feature classic NBC and CBS Radio programs.
