680 ON Toronto CFTR Again calling themselves 680 NEWS, as they were prior to October 2021. So far, they are the only CITY NEWS station to stop using that slogan.
1550 QC La Romaine CBSI-8 The move to FM has been delayed by a lengthy local approval process and construction delays. The CRTC has given the CBC a new deadline of April 8 2025 to make the move.
1670 QC Gatineau CJEU After a year and a half off the air, while waiting for funding to get their transmitter repaired, Radio Jeunesse was first noticed back on the air on March 25th but then went off the air on March 27th. Audio had a severe hum which likely means more money and more transmitter
repairs will be required.
