CityNews Ottawa

CityNews Ottawa, with the call sign CIWW, is the all-news station for the Canadian capital, with news, sport and talk. The schedule is built around frequent bulletins and updates, presented in English in a brisk style.

Canada has a diverse radio landscape, with the public CBC and Radio-Canada services, large commercial groups, campus and community stations and many multilingual and online broadcasters, and its radio reflects a country of English, French and many other languages. CityNews is a Canadian news brand that runs all-news radio stations in several cities, with frequent bulletins on traffic and weather. As a commercial service, it carries advertising and promotional messages between programmes. The stream is delivered as AAC+ at 48 kbps, a very low bitrate that keeps data use minimal and is adequate for speech, although the sound is thin and not suited to music. It plays in your browser on RadioKite without installation, and you can add it to your favourites.
