CKLN 88.1fm is the longest running campus/community radio station with the largest audience in the biggest city in Canada. Found on the furthest left of the dial at 88.1fm broadcasting at 250 watts, and on the web @ www.ckln.fm Since 1970 CKLN has been the voice of the underground for Toronto, broadcasting a vibrant mix of alternative music, spoken word and activist politics. Located in downtown Toronto at Ryerson University CKLN serves the larger community outside Ryerson rather than acting as a training facility for the school's R.T.A. (radio & television arts) program, although 1/3 of the station's budget comes from the students and there are many Ryerson students and alumni at CKLN. CKLN is run by a board of directors made up of representatives from the Student Union, CKLN and the larger community. The bulk of the station's budget comes from it's listeners during CKLN's yearly funding drive (in October), the rest comes from various grants and some advertising. Not to be confused with CKLN, Ryerson's RTA does have an internet station which is used for training RTA students but which has no connection with CKLN. In spite of the relatively small signal the station can cover the Greater Toronto Area and numerous surveys have shown CKLN with not only a bigger audience than other community stations in Toronto but also many commercial stations with more powerfull signals as well. CKLN has also been chosen by various media outlets and critics as one of the best stations not only in Toronto but in North America as well. In 2005 CKLN finally moved to new facilities for the first time in over thirty years and a signal upgrade is pending. CKLN can also be heard in real time on the net @ www.ckln.fm.________________________________________________
