CHCH-TV and 1150 CKOC have partnered to bring more local news to radio listeners across Hamilton, Halton, Brantford and Niagara.

As of Dec. 8, the CHCH Evening News at 6 p.m. will air live on 1150 CKOC each weekday in a full simulcast of the CHCH-TV broadcast.

“We’re thrilled to distribute our news to an even wider audience in our community,” said Greg O’Brien, News Director at CHCH-TV. “It’s important for us to reach people wherever they are, whether that’s at home, at work or in their cars. Tapping into CKOC’s loyal radio audience is a great fit for us.”

Both CHCH-TV and 1150 CKOC have deep roots in the community and aim to continue serving local audiences.

“Just as CHCH has been a trusted pillar in Hamilton media for decades, CKOC has a deep-rooted history in our community,” said Al Pervin, General Manager of CKOC 1150. “This partnership helps keep Hamilton’s local media strong and thriving.”

Together, the stations hope the partnership will make it easier for residents to stay informed, wherever they are.
