540 may stay on but with nothing local ---
** CANADA. WINDSOR RESIDENTS SEEK INJUNCTION AGAINST CBC
A group of local residents has filed a legal injunction to try to stop
the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) from discontinuing its
French-language local radio news and programming in Windsor, Ontario.
Listeners will still receive national broadcasts of Radio-Canada. But
due to the public broadcaster’s shortfall in funding, it plans to stop
locally produced French content for the 35,000 francophone residents
in the area after this week.
The group SOS-CBEF, referring to the call letters of the AM station
[on 540 kHz], petitioned the CBC to wait until the commission of
official languages, Graham Fraser, completes an investigation into the
matter. The group has now taken legal action, asking the Ontario
Superior Court of Justice to prevent the discontinuation of service,
at least until Mr Fraser concludes his investigation.
