I’m a little surprised we got this given how abruptly things ended, but this is audio of the final newscasts and promos from the day CHML died, capped off by the pulling of the plug.
I don’t know what happened at 10 o’clock. Was it technical problems or did we throw to the news while the people who were supposed to be delivering it were in the midst of finding out they were about to be unemployed? We may never know, but it’s some eerie listening in hindsight.
This video contains the final complete radio newscasts at 9 AM and 9:30 AM on CHML, and its official (brief) sign-off.
