Rogers Sports & Media is “closing” Vancouver-based CISL-AM, the sport radio station has operated since 2017. The Canucks had renewed with CISL as the team’s official radio station, but where team radio broadcasts will land now has not been confirmed. However, they “will continue on a Rogers-owned station.” The loss of CISL “would be a devastating blow to local sports media.” Vancouver-based CKWX-AM is “also closing,” along with “four other stations across the country including a sports talk and news station in Calgary and news stations in Halifax and Kitchener.” Licenses for all six stations are “being returned to the CRTC,” Canada’s broadcasting regulator (Vancouver PROVINCE, 7/7).
