Default CINW, CINF license revocation

The licences for both CINF-690 and CINW-940, which have been silent
for some

moths, have been formally revoked by the CRTC. Thus ends the saga of
the worlds oldest

station, CINW, which started as XWA in 1919. For most of its life it
was CFCF.



Revocation of licences


1. Metromedia CMR Broadcasting Inc. has requested the revocation of
the broadcasting
licences for its English-language radio programming undertaking CINW
and its French-language radio
programming undertaking CINF Montréal. The licensee has informed the
Commission that these
stations have not been in operation since 29 January 2010.

2. Given the licensee's request and pursuant to sections 9(1)(e) and
24(1) of the Broadcasting
Act, the Commission revokes the broadcasting licences issued to
Metromedia CMR Broadcasting Inc.
for the above-mentioned undertakings.
