CHML (900 AM) was a radio station in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. CHML's transmitter power is 50,000 watts using an eight-tower directional antenna array with a signal oriented largely west-northwest to east-southeast, covering the Niagara Peninsula and Western New York, USA strongest; the array is located between Peter's Corners and Cambridge. Its studios were located on Main Street West (next to Highway 403) in Hamilton's Westdale neighbourhood. The station last aired a news–talk format branded as 900 CHML. CHML is owned by Corus Entertainment. The station's long-time slogan was "hometown radio".[1]
The station went off the air on August 14, 2024 at 1 p.m., shortly after Corus announced that the station would be closing. Some of Canada's best-known broadcasters held the mic at CHML, including Tom Cherington, Paul Hanover, Roy Green, Bill Kelly and Scott Thompson.[2]
