CBCL-FM is a Canadian radio station. It is the CBC Radio One station in London, Ontario, broadcasting at 93.5 FM.

Local programming

CBCL has its own local news bureau, but presently all programming apart from regional news updates during Ontario Morning comes from the CBC Toronto studio.

History

The station was launched in 1978. Prior to its launch, CBC Radio programming was aired on private affiliate CFPL 980 in the AM band. CBCL started out as a rebroadcaster of CBL 740 Toronto, but was granted a separate licence in 1998 and began producing a limited amount of local programming. From 1998-2004 it produced its own local newscasts which aired during Ontario Morning, separately from regional news heard on all other stations airing Ontario Morning. The two news feeds were merged in 2004. Regional news originating from London is hosted by Gary Ennet or Kerry McKee.

In September 2011, the CBC announced plans to expand CBCL's local programming for the London area beginning in 2012. Specific programming details have yet to be confirmed.
