Mix FM was an unlicensed radio station in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The station broadcast as a pirate radio station on several frequencies, most notably on 91.9 FM. The station was "forced off the air" soon after midnight on December 14, 2009,[2] however, the station later signed back on the air 10 days later.[3] The broadcast of Mix FM was forcibly shut down by Industry Canada on January 15, 2010, although the station continues to operate a podcast stream online.[3][4] The operator of the station was subsequently found guilty of violating the Radiocommunication Act.[5][6]
