CHEV was a Canadian radio station, which formerly broadcast at 1610 kHz in Toronto, Ontario.
In 1997, BAF Audio Visual Incorporated of Scarborough was given approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission to launch the station.
[1][2] 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.
On 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.
[5] In April 2010, the station was granted a three-month license renewal, ending July 31, in which the CRTC advised that it would not renew the station's license again if a new permanent frequency application had not been filed by May 17.
