CATHOLIC RADIO TORONTO Realizing a great need for Catholic broadcasting in every Catholic community, we decided to expand our ministry to include an English-language Catholic ... See more radio program - the first of its kind in Toronto in some 30 years. Beginning Easter Sunday 2001, thousands of people could listen to Catholic Radio Toronto over the airwaves and through Internet rebroadcasts. Features such as Open Forum and CDs & Sounds became a platform for experts in various fields, as well as for Christian artists, to share their knowledge and talents with the listening community. News relating to the Church in Canada was regularly broadcast, as was the Vatican Radio World News service. We also provided extensive coverage of World Youth Day 2002 events taking place across the city. Other regular features included Humanae Vitae Positive – a weekly examination of human-life issues by Brian Moccia; Views from the Back Pew – light-hearted examinations of life and faith by broadcaster Russ Le Blanc, and spotlights on the lives of saints read by Bernie Whitty. In 2002, Catholic Youth Studio - KSM Inc. applied to the CRTC for a radio broadcasting licence. The vision was to establish a 24-hour multi-lingual, multi-faith radio station on the 101.3 FM frequency. Despite an enormous investment of hard work, funds and expertise, the broadcasting licence was awarded to another group. To read more about our initiative please follow this link. After four years, our English Catholic broadcasts on CIAO AM 530 were discontinued due to the lack of necessary operating funds. Catholic Radio, however, continues to maintain its presence through the Internet. Visit our Audio Online page where you can listen to new features as they become available.
