  Waterloo Region has just lost something essential & most people don’t realize how serious it is. Rogers Communications has shut down CKGL 570, the region’s only full‑service local radio newsroom. This wasn’t just a station. It was a lifeline. It was how we got storm alerts, road closures, breaking news, and real‑time updates during emergencies.
