This one is painful. CKWX was my all-news source here in the borderland.

Rogers Sports & Media is cutting 230 positions across its division and permanently shutting down six radio stations in Vancouver, Calgary, Halifax, and Kitchener. The company cited declining advertising revenue and shifting audience habits as drivers of these changes, which are part of a broader strategy to redirect investment toward long-term growth areas.

There is a shortwave angle to this story. CKWX once operated 6080 kHz 10-watt CKFX. You can find QSL images out there. It’s one of the few QSLs I kept.
