Fanshawe, UOttawa radio stations to close

As the campus radio stations at Fanshawe College and the University of Ottawa wind down, students are concerned about the potential impacts on their studies. At Fanshawe, students currently enrolled in the institution’s radio broadcasting program are reportedly seeking compensation for the loss of the station. They assert that the loss of the station deprives them of the hands-on experience that they were promised. UOttawa’s campus radio station CHUO 89.1 FM will also be shutting down in March 2026. The station had unsuccessfully attempted to raise $150K to continue operations, but the board of directors recently decided to end the campaign and shut down the station.
