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 became best known for airing junior hockey games.

History

In 1997, BAF Audio Visual Inc. was given approval by the CRTC to operate a new AM radio station at 1610 kHz. [ [http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisions/1997/DB97-514.HTM Decision CRTC 97-514] ] [ [http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisions/1997/DB97-514-1.htm Decision CRTC 97-514-1] ] 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. [ [http://www.crtc.gc.ca/archive/ENG/Decisions/2004/db2004-364.htm Broadcasting Decision CRTC 2004-364] ]

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 and its license to relaunch on AM is still active.

As of November 19, 2007 CHEV announced via its blog that it would not broadcast for an undetermined period 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.
