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.
