Corus Entertainment has decided to discontinue its AM radio formats in Vancouver, marking a significant shift in the local media landscape. This move has resulted in the shutdown of Vancouver's all-traffic radio station, AM730, which was once a prominent frequency known as CKLG. The closure of AM730 adds to the growing list of AM radio stations that have ceased operations in Metro Vancouver in recent years, totaling three. The decision reflects broader trends in the media industry, where traditional radio formats are increasingly being phased out in favor of digital platforms.

Will we see any more of these lovely posts now that AM730 has gone dark here in Metro Vancouver? https://t.co/eWtTroiT9p
Another "yikes!" moment for Metro Vancouver media operations as storied frequency, 730 kHz, goes silent. A one-time powerhouse as CKLG the frequency in recent years was AM730, All-traffic, all-the-time. @bobmackin @bc_news_addict @RyanVoutilainen https://t.co/OEz7jP0WGt
That’s 3 AM radio stations folding in Vancouver in the last few years. Very sad times. https://t.co/l3H9klhwg5

I love the @capitalweather newsletter and was so disappointed to see this today. Please don’t change it! https://t.co/s3mRrZNWmV
Serious shame that @washingtonpost is getting rid of the @capitalweather gang daily email. It (was) a dependable forecast every morning. Now WaPo is putting basic forecasts into their Post Local email. Hopefully the Gang themselves aren’t anywhere! #OneLessGoodLocalThing https://t.co/f5eA5REpEm https://t.co/ClJr7mhWoi
