History
In 1997, BAF Audio Visual Inc. was given approval by the CRTC to launch the station.
As an unprotected low-power station, CHEV was forced to vacate the 1610 frequency in 2004 when the San Lorenzo Latin American Community Centre was awarded the frequency for CHHA, a new Spanish community radio station, although the CRTC renewed CHEV's license conditional on the station finding a new frequency.
On its website, the station subsequently promoted itself as an active community radio station in Markham. Although it was not broadcasting on a conventional radio band, the station continued to provide an Internet radio stream and its license to relaunch on AM remained active.
On November 19, 2007 CHEV announced via its blog that it would not broadcast for an undetermined period due to renovations being done in the studio. On November 28, 2007, CHEV launched a new website, and on December 12, 2007, CHEV returned to the internet.
The station's licence was renewed on August 31, 2009. In April 2010, the station was granted a three-month license renewal, ending July 31, in which the CRTC advised that it would not renew the station's license again if a new permanent frequency application had not been filed by May 17. An application was not received, and the station's website is no longer in operation as of 2011.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

“So in accepting the leading of the sentiments, it is not what we believe concerning the immortality of the soul, or the like, but the universal impulse to believe, that is the material circumstance, and is the principal fact in this history of the globe.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I assure you that in our next class we will concern ourselves solely with the history of Egypt, and not with the more lurid and non-curricular subject of living mummies.”
