I have been listening to CHIN Radio since 1989, and it has been my favorite radio station for over three decades. Throughout the years, CHIN Radio has been an important part of my daily life, keeping me connected to my culture, community, and the world around me. The programs are always informative, entertaining, and engaging. The DJs are friendly, professional, and full of personality. They make listeners feel like family and always bring smiles, laughter, and positive energy to the airwaves. CHIN Radio has done an incredible job serving multicultural communities and bringing people together through music, news, and meaningful conversations. Your dedication, passion, and commitment have made a difference in the lives of so many listeners. Congratulations on 60 amazing years of broadcasting! Thank you for the memories, the music, and the information you have shared over the decades. Wishing everyone at CHIN Radio a very Happy 60th Anniversary, continued success, good health, and many more years of bringing joy to listeners across Canada and beyond. With appreciation and best wishes, Carmela

I love the station and mostly because my 91 year old father loves it! The only problem is that with the streaming which works well, the reception for radio does not work. The problem is that you are actually disadvantaging a whole generation of Italian Canadians who supported CHIN at its very inception and now, without the help of their younger tech savvy children, they cannot navigate this world of streaming. What is so sad, is that I often find him listening to CHIN on the radio with all the static...not sure how you could address this, but I beseech you to really do so for this group of loyal listeners. The show is always great but do consider the radio piece also for those who listen while they drive:)

Listening to my favourite Italian program Cori Calabrisi with Vinz Derose, he always does a fantastic job on the radio and at parties

Love the Hugo Straney show. He does so much for the Irish community. We can listen up in Kincardine Ontaio on Lake Huron. Keep up the great work Hugo. From Brenda

My parents always listened to their radio every day. It was much easier than waiting for the grandkids to come over and listen to their cell phones play their favourite italian songs. Too bad.

Congratulations to the one and only Hugo Straney on the occasion of his first two hour show on Chin Radio 1540 Toronto. May there be many many more Days Like This. Best wishes from The Long Note team!

Since streaming came into effect (Summer 2024), the reception has been really terrible on 1540 AM, (the FM station was great) It's not clear and it gets cut constantly especially driving in TO. I end up changing stations and cannot enjoy listening on my drive to and from work.

Chin is a great station and have been listening for a long time but when the streaming came into effect last year (Summer 2024 I think), the reception has been terrible especially in the car. You cannot hear anything! It's really annoying and I end up changing stations. It's really a shame driving in TO on my drive to and from work and not being able to hear anything. Terrible.
