Rogers Pulls the Plug on Six Local Radio Stations
from Scott Fox After 9 · host Scott Fox
Rogers has announced it is shutting down six local radio stations across Canada, including community news stations that thousands of Canadians relied on every day. Scott explains why this decision is about far more than declining advertising revenue. What does the loss of local journalism mean for public safety, accountability, and the communities left behind? And should Canada's largest media companies be allowed to continue consolidating while reducing local service? Rogers says the move reflects changing audience habits and advertising pressures, while critics argue it's another major blow to local journalism. Plus, Scott breaks down Prime Minister Mark Carney's remarks from this week's NATO summit. The Prime Minister repeatedly warned that Canada faces growing threats and announced additional defence spending, but never clearly identified who or what those threats are. Scott examines the messaging, what was said, what wasn't, and why Canadians deserve greater clarity about the security challenges their government says the country now faces.
