(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”
